    • Whether your child is already identified as gifted and talented or you are hoping to support that process, we encourage you to use your child's data to really get to know their relative strengths and weaknesses to better support them at home. We hope you find these resources helpful, and we encourage you to reach out to your child's teacher/s and/or our department with additional questions. 

       

      Please see our other webpages for specific information about the identification process and our gifted service in schools.

      CCSD's @ Home Enrichment Suggestions for Gifted Education and Talent Development

      Take a look at our best suggestions for encouraging your child at home! 

       

      Recommended Online Learning Resources

      Check out our collection of online learning tools that allow students to tackle new learning in engaging and interactive ways!

       

      Master Game List to Support Critical Reasoning

      Wondering how you can develop critical reasoning skills for your child? We strongly advocate game play as a fun and inviting way to deepen thinking skills and allow for social interaction and family bonding. This "master games list" is broken down into categories of verbal, quantitative and nonverbal which match the different types of thinking assessed on cognitive assessments like the CogAT (Cognitive Abilities Test). This test is given to all second graders in the state of South Carolina and any student in grades 3-11 who is nominated/referred for additional gifted and talented screening. Game play can be used to extend and enrich skills that are already a strength for a child, but they can also be used to build confidence and support skills that are relatively weaker for students. As an added bonus, these can be great gift ideas!
