gifted children; and often gifted children require different grade levels by

Michael
Clay Thompson Language Arts Curriculum
by Michael Clay Thompson, from Royal Fireworks
Press
I don't know how to explain Michael Clay Thompson's curriculum, except to
say... gifted students, no matter where their gifts lie, need
this curriculum. I had the honor of hearing Michael speak about his

curricula and Practice Sentence
student workbook series... and I was enthralled. Please know, I am a
math-y and a computer geek - I do not do language arts, if I can help
it. But this curriculum made grammar interesting to me!
Word Within The Word offers middle
and secondary level, vocabulary-building curriculum that is like no other.
Sentence Island, Paragraph Town
and Essay Voyage form the elementary writing curriculum. And
