Creative Writing and the Gifted Child.

The article reports on a study conducted in a self contained classroom of highly talented sixth grade children at the Skylark School in Garden Grove, California, during the 1965-1966 school year. In the Garden Grove Unified School District there were 18 major work classes comprising children whose Stanford-Binet Intelligence Test scores were in excess of 130. The sixth grade class in the project was a high cluster group in which 12 students scored above 130 on the Stanford-Binet and the remaining students scored from 103 to 130 on the California Test of Mental Maturity.
