Challenging
Resources for Able and Talented Children is Barry Teare’s
fourth book for Network Educational Press, providing
attractive and exciting resources for schools. It has
been written in response to the continuing phenomenal
demand for practical materials that inspire, motivate,
challenge and stretch able children.
What the book covers
• Delivers thinking skills and curriculum content
in exciting and stimulating activities, to engage able
children and encourage them to develop their full potential.
• All activities are brand new – most are
based around entirely new topics, while some take a
fresh approach to revisited topics from previous books.
• Resources can be used with children of all ages,
from Key Stage 1 to post-16, in situations both within
and beyond normal classroom lessons – for example,
as differentiated homework tasks, in summer schools
and clubs, and for competitions.
• All activities are photocopiable and are accompanied
by comprehensive solutions and notes for teachers to
explain the contexts, and how the materials meet the
needs of able children and deliver curriculum guidelines.
• Resources are divided into nine themes: English,
Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Young Children, Logical
Thought, Detective Work and Codes, Lateral Thinking
and Competitions.
