For as Willis and Mann (2000) remind us, "without differentiated instruction,
any child who varies from the norm will suffer". -

- different rates of learning,
- different activities,
- different interests,
- different expectations,
- different motivation,
- different outcomes,

- Many gifted children learn to read early, with better comprehension of the
nuances of language. As much as half the gifted and talented population has
learned to read before entering school. - Gifted children often read widely, quickly, and intensely and have large
vocabularies. - Gifted children commonly learn basic skills better, more quickly, and with
less practice. - They are better able to construct and handle abstractions.
- They often pick up and interpret nonverbal cues and can draw inferences that
other children need to have spelled out for them. - They take less for granted, seeking the "hows" and "whys."
- They can work independently at an earlier age and can concentrate for longer
periods. - Their interests are both wildly eclectic and intensely focused.
- They often have seemingly boundless energy, which sometimes leads to a
misdiagnosis of hyperactivity. - They usually respond and relate well to parents, teachers, and other adults.
They may prefer the company of older children and adults to that of their
peers. - They like to learn new things, are willing to examine the unusual, and are
highly inquisitive. - They tackle tasks and problems in a well-organized, goal-directed, and
efficient manner. - They exhibit an intrinsic motivation to learn, find out, or explore and are
often very persistent. "I'd rather do it myself" is a common attitude.

written for children older than they are. - They often take great pleasure in intellectual activity.
- They have well-developed powers of abstraction, conceptualization, and
synthesis. - They readily see cause-effect relationships.
- They often display a questioning attitude and seek information for its own
sake as much as for its usefulness. - They are often skeptical, critical, and evaluative. They are quick to spot
inconsistencies. - They often have a large storehouse of information about a variety of topics,
which they can recall quickly. - They readily grasp underlying principles and can often make valid
generalizations about events, people, or objects. - They quickly perceive similarities, differences, and anomalies.
- They often attack complicated material by separating it into components and
analyzing it systematically.
Gifted children are natural learners who often show many of these
characteristics: - They may show keen powers of observation and a sense of the significant;
