Primary Gifted Programs

Abstract

“Why is it that there are so few primary children in gifted programs?” Or would it be better to ask, “Why is it that there are so few primary programs for gifted children?”

We need to identify gifted children at early ages and deal with their unique abilities, if we are to enhance these abilities. If we fail to do this, we may observe a degeneration in the gifted child's desire for learning. It is our obligation as educators to provide for the individual needs of all of our students and that includes our gifted students. — H.W.M.
