A reading program for the intellectually gifted high school student must have an individualized, challenging approach that will enlarge the students range of interests, knowledge, and ideas. It should supplement his assigned classes, yet provide freedom of personal choice. It should offer an opportunity for group discussion among peers. The teacher should be an enthusiastic, gifted person who can guide the student in social and intellectual growth and who can encourage an appreciation of reading that will motivate the student to assume personal responsibility for a continuing program. However, to be successful, such a program must have the support of the school's administration, counselors, and teachers. (BS)
