How can we provide challenges for the gifted and talented primary school pupil in an inclusive classroom setting?Using tried and tested examples, this book shows the busy teacher how to challenge able children in their mixed-ability class - where time and resources are usually limited. The practical tasks will show you how carefully designed activities can cater for a range of abilities.

Class teachers, GATCOs, Teaching Assistants, Learning Support Teachers, trainee teachers and LEA advisers looking for practical teaching ideas to challenge gifted children will find this book ideal for use in their settings.Chris Smith is Lecturer in Support for Learning and Inclusive Education at the University of Glasgow.
