Teacher, the kid in this book is me!: Reading and Reflection to Nurture Emotional Well-Being

“Teacher, the kid in this book is me!” Reading and Reflection to Nurture Emotional Well-Being

Join us as we explore how teachers and counselors facilitate book discussions designed to guide gifted kids to self-understanding through literature. We enjoy engaging lessons and activities to support students as they process their feelings regarding the issues in the book and class discussion. Featured are examples and menus of questions for meaningful classroom conversations as well as enrichment activities to extend students’ learning. We examine this approach with whole classrooms, as well as with special populations of gifted students, including twice-exceptional students, culturally diverse students, and children and teens facing serious adversity in their lives.
