Book excerpt: Effective Resources for Able and Talented Children has been written to meet the massive demand for practical resources designed to stimulate and inspire more able pupils. It can be seen as a practical sequel to Barry Teare's Effective Provision for Able and Talented Children (published by Network Educational Press), but also stands entirely alone as the activities can be used quite independently. What the Book Covers: Contains a wealth of attractive and exciting photocopiable resources for able and talented pupils in both the primary and secondary sectors; Provides activities designed to inspire, motivate, challenge and stretch able children, encouraging them to enjoy their true potential; Begins with sections designed to help teachers build provision for able and talented children into the curriculum; The large bank of resources is organised according to areas of the National Curriculum and Scottish 5 - 14 Guidelines, such as English, Science and Mathematics, each preceded by a commentary outlining key principles and giving general guidance for teachers.
