Prufrock Press

We love the word flexibility in homeschooling, don't we? No matter how we plan, things happen. This has certainly been such a week in our house. I have been laid up on the couch with some kind of virus all week. My boys have been having to entertain themselves for the most part. Thankfully, my mother has been able to take them some, as well.

That is life, isn't it!

Prufrock Press offers resources for gifted and advanced learners. They have done a great deal of work on their website, making it a great place for teachers and parents to visit. They offer

  • informative articles,

  • book chapters,

  • listings of upcoming gifted education events,

  • links to other important gifted education sites, and

  • ongoing blogs about gifted education and gifted children.

    • I recently ordered several teaching guides from Prufrock Press. I am excited to use these in both our own homeschool and in my homeschool coop. I have found these appropriate for all learning abilities, not just typical gifted learners. Homeschoolers often have the ability to think outside the box, and this gives them a lot in common with gifted learners.

    However, if you have a gifted learner, as I do, you know how difficult it can be to challenge them enough. Having a resource like Prufrock Press is an invaluable tool when parenting a gifted learner.
