3.5.14 Pedagogical Approaches: A Study of Gifted Readers in the Primary Classroom in China and Scotland
Gifted readers are a group of children who can demonstrate advanced and high abilities in reading. Appropriate reading materials and differentiated instructions should be provided to support their development. However, there is a paucity of research looking at how teachers meet the instructional needs of gifted readers. This presentation, based on the data of my PhD study, contextualizes the education of gifted readers in two socio-cultural contexts, China and Scotland. The comparison of these countries will illuminate the influence of socio-cultural contexts in gifted education.
