judgement in evaluating all portions of what they read.
Please check this page routinely. A new resource will be posted
approximately once each month.
Guiding the Gifted Child:
A Practical Source for Parents and Teachers
Webb, Meckstroth, and Tolan, 1982. Thirteenth printing, 1995.
This month we are featuring a book that has stood the test of time in terms of providing sound and
substantive information and advice on a variety of topics commonly encountered by gifted learners, their
families, and their teachers. This book is a fine starting point for anyone to gain a better understanding
of gifted learners or a fine review for those who feel they are well-versed on the subject. The section on
identification is now very outdated. Even so, conduct and language to use and avoid, the rights and needs
of gifted learners to consider, and the wonderful qualities of gifted learners are described among many
other relevant and important subjects.
The WCGL Parent Support Council is using the topics and text in this book as a guide for parent
discussions in their meetings during the 2011-12 school year.
