Bill+of+Rights

The Gifted Reader’s Bill of Rights I have the right to read at a pace and level that matches my ability, no matter what grade I am in. I have the right to discuss what I read with my intellectual peers, regardless of their age. I have the right to reread many books and not finish every book I start. I have the right to use reading to explore new and challenging information and to grow intellectually. I have the right to read in-depth about topics of my own choosing. I have the right to learn advanced vocabulary and literary concepts. I have the right to be guided toward the best literature, rather than be told what I must read. I have the right to read several books at the same time. I have the right to discuss my reading choices with others, without having to defend those choices. I have the right to be excused from reading material that I’ve already learned. Bertie Kingore, // Differentiation: Simplified, Realistic and Effective, //TX: Professional Associates Publishing, 2004.
