Supporting gifted students in lower elementary grades can be challenging for teachers and parents. Rachel does a wonderful job of providing research-based ideas for enriching gifted minds while providing parents practical ways to connect with their gifted kids at home. This is a workbook you need in your gifted education toolbox. --Kayleigh Collier, M.Ed, elementary teacher and founder of Inspired to Enrich (gifted support blog and resources) This book has such a great variety of activities for gifted children. The parent corner tips are a great addition to the activities, so I love that this can be used by a classroom teacher or a parent! --Angela Votion, Texas gifted and talented specialist As the gifted and talented specialist for my campus, not only do I work with the gifted student population, but I also coach and collaborate with teachers to make sure that they are equipped to meet the needs of the advanced students in their classroom. This book has proven to be my go-to resource in helping my teachers. Not only does it provide quick and ready-made material for them, but it also explains the hows and whys of gifted children for educators new to the field. I've even recommended it to parents who are looking for ways to meet their child's learning needs outside of the classroom. Rachel has written a wonderful book that not only examines the gifted child in an accessible way, but provides resources to enrich and extend learning. --Jennifer Rendon Williams, campus gifted specialist, Dallas ISD Teacher of the Year nominee, 2018
