The intellectually gifted in- says "Mamma" or 'before he's a year old and sothe t= sentences hafore he is two, chances are he's bright. By age five, or even before, some bright children have taught themselves to read. They are extremely curious, ask hundreds of questions and usually remember the an- ewers. There: are also children whose are in artistic and other fields. Lots of children like playing with piano or paints but the truly talented child .becomes immersed in his artistic interests and shows seemingly inexhausti- ble energy and drive.
