Homeschooling Gifted Kids
$12.50
Yes, you CAN homeschool your gifted or advanced learner! I’ll help you think through curriculum, schedules, and teaching ideas so you can meet your child’s needs with confidence and joy.
A Practical Guide to Educate and Motivate Your Advanced Learners
Homeschooling gives you the freedom to meet your gifted child’s needs. Figuring out how to do that can leave you with plenty of questions!
What curriculum should you choose? How do you plan a schedule for someone who flies through one subject but needs extra time in another? Where do you find friends who share your child’s interests?
I wrote Homeschooling Gifted Kids to help you work through questions like these with practical ideas and encouragement from my own experience.
As a homeschool mom, I’ve taught gifted and advanced learners and navigated the strengths and challenges of a twice-exceptional learner. Even with a master’s degree in education, I had plenty to figure out as I planned lessons, chose resources, and adjusted to what each of my kids needed.
In this book, I’ll help you think through those decisions for your own homeschool, including:
- Choosing curriculum that provides an appropriate level of challenge.
- Planning schedules that work for your learner.
- Understanding learning preferences and creating helpful learning environments.
- Finding homeschool groups that meet academic and social needs.
Then we’ll get into the teaching! I’ve included practical ideas across subject areas to help you educate and motivate your gifted, advanced, or twice-exceptional learner. You’ll also find guidance for project-based learning, using technology, keeping records, and planning for college.
This book can help whether you’re just beginning or have been homeschooling for years. Sometimes you need help getting started. Other times, you need fresh ideas because what used to work isn’t working anymore.
One thing to know before you buy: I don’t cover the emotional intensity some gifted kids experience. My focus is on the practical work of homeschooling to meet academic and social needs.
You really CAN do this! I hope this book leaves you with useful ideas, a clearer sense of direction, and confidence that homeschooling your gifted learner can be both fruitful and joyful.

Cindy, I have loved your book and I am reading away and nodding my head with your insight and wisdom. I feel as though I have found something I didn’t realize I even needed because I wasn’t sure exactly how to define some of my children’s quirks, traits or gifted qualities. You have given me so much to think about and work with but not in an overwhelming way but in a simple one. I have enjoyed the way you have broken down subjects, given examples of your own children and given resources to assist us. I am over halfway through, have highlighted and taken notes galore! My husband is very excited too with this information as we have been discussing your book since I bought it. Thank you. I’ve been a huge fan of your homeschoooing wisdom and as a fan of nature myself, you’ve also given me great ideas to add to our homeschool days.
