I love this resource! So often all our attention goes to struggling readers who are not the only kids out there. Especially now with so many educational cuts, special program for gifted children have become nonexistent. This a a great site. It has an awesome compilation of links to extensive reading lists.
Some of them are:
International Reading Association Teacher Choices Book List
101 Great Books recommended for College Bound Readers
New York Times Children's Bestsellers List
101 Out-Of-This-World Books For Kids Ages 8-13
Best Loved Books: A Unique Reading List for Gifted Students in Grades 6-12
Good Books for Good Readers
Books for Children Featuring Gifted Children
*****Plus about 40 others******
Hoagie's Gifted Education Page home has many other resources and information about gifted education as well with tabs for parents, educators, kids, what's new, gifted information, community, conferences, and shopping.
I love comprehensive resource sites like this one. I'm sure you've used it, but hte ALA website is fantastic. It has so much great info, including a laundry list of other sites that have helpful resources. I'll certainly try this one out.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful resource. You are right we do talk a lot about how to gear down lessons and information and somehow the higher achievers do not get equal attention (hopefully this will be changing). And a list of "prereading" for all college bound children could benefit many.
