Show Notes
If you have a gifted, twice-exceptional, or advanced reader, this episode is for you. Today I’m chatting with Colleen Kessler of Raising Lifelong Leaners. A gifted specialist and mother of her own gifted and twice-exceptional kids, Colleen understands the challenges of connecting advanced readers with books…
… and the challenges that arise when your advanced reader can read anything, but isn’t emotionally ready to have free reign at the library.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- what to do when your kids can read “older” books, when you know they aren’t ready for the content
- Book recommendations that feature gifted or twice-exceptional kids
- The answer to whether your child can read too much (we know… it sounds like a good problem to have, but it can be a struggle!)
I also answer two listener questions about finding books for sensitive kids, and great book series for young, voracious readers.
