In this fascinating book, Ellen Winner uncovers and explores nine
myths about giftedness, and shows us what gifted children are
really like.Using vivid case studies, Winner paints a complex
picture of the gifted child. Here we meet David, a three-year-old
who learned to read in two weeks KyLee, a five-year-old who
mastered on his own all of the math concepts expected by the end of
elementary school and Nadia, an autistic and retarded savant" who
nevertheless could draw like a Renaissance master.Winner uses her
research with these and several other extraordinary children, as
well as the latest biological and psychological evidence, to debunk
the many myths about academic, musical, and artistic giftedness.
Gifted Children also looks at the role played by schools in
fostering exceptional abilities. Winner castigates schools for
wasting resources on weak educational programs for the moderately
gifted. Instead, she advocates elevating standards for all
children, and focusing our resources for gifted education on those
with extreme abilities,children who are left untouched by the kinds
of minimal programs we have today.
