Thousand Children: Children recognized as gifted may be superior in abstract verbal ability or may possess special talents or abilities. It has been estimated that in the United States there are about one hundred thousand children with IQ's of 130 and above. A large proportion of these gifted children are not identified, especially in the lower socioeconomic groups. In the absence of psychological services, many gifted children can be recognized by the characteristics already described (see Chap. 15). They show these characteristics at an earlier age than the majority of children; they are "old for their years."

Noise, speed, manifold dis¬tractions and attractions, ambitious parents, a competitive school atmos¬phere often stimulate the child to be more active than he would naturally choose to be. Country children to choose, on the other hand, may come to school

On The Other Hand See Which Children With Reading:It is also difficult to show that it is the reading activity itself which produces the results. In an extremely interesting set of experiments in Somerset, in which children with reading problems received no special extra help, but had someone to talk with for a short while on a once-a-week basis, Denis Lawrence was able to demonstrate noticeable reading im¬provement.17'18 He argued that reading was a skill highly valued by adults, and children who fail to make progress in reading see themselves to be failing as people.
When, through a combination of methods, children have learned enough words to read in preprimers and primers, they embark on a wide reading program. Their fluency increases as they read all the available material beginning with their present level of reading ability. A Table or shelf of interesting, easy books and children's magazines invites children to browse in their leisure time. Other aids in developing reading ability in the first three grades include oral reading in an audience situation, other social situations requiring reading, bulletin boards and posters, and a graphic record kept by each child to show the progress he is making in reaching the reading goals he has set for himself. |
