Books for Gifted Children

Because gifted children tend to love to read, it can be difficult to have enough books for them! And sometimes it's hard to know the kinds of books they like, especially when they're just beginning to read.

Gifts for Learning makes it easy for you by offering only those books that gifted children tend to enjoy, both fiction and non-fiction.

Not all gifted children will enjoy all the same books, so you still need to figure out what kinds of books your child likes.  To help you figure that out, take your child to the public library often and pull out a variety of books, both fiction and non-fiction, for him or her to look at.  Observe your child's reaction to the books and should be able to tell what kinds of books your child likes.

There are other criteria to keep in mind besides your child's interests.  It's a good idea to consider age and reading level as well.  Gifted children, especially early readers, tend to be able to read and enjoy books written for older children, although it's always important to consider content.  You don't want to get a book for your child that is at an appropriate reading level, but which contains inappropriate content.
