It can be very challenging to find books for gifted children that are age appropriate while meeting their advanced reading level and/or intellectual curiosity. Here are some that our kids have loved. After an concerted effort to participate in Amazon’s affiliate program, we have found a better partner in Bookshop.org. More of your purchase price will financially aid The Program while also benefiting local booksellers.
Share your child’s favorites with us by emailing marketing@supersaturday.org.
