Reading List
- You Know Your Child is Gifted When..., by Judith Galbraith. This is a great book for parents and students who are new to gifted. Think about reading it as a family book club. Each member of the family can share a favorite quote or a question generated from their reading during dinner or another family time. Each week the family can focus on a different chapter, or let a different family member lead a conversation about the book.
