- Summary:
-
The study investigated reading attitudes and interests of 30 fourth through ninth grade gifted and talented students. The data were gathered through the use of a questionnaire, which included statements with Likert type scale responses, multiple-choice, and short answers. Methods used to analyze the data were individual item analysis, analysis of variance, and t test. Results were reported in means, standard deviation, and cumulative percentages. The major findings of the study were: gifted children have a very positive attitude toward reading; books appear to be the preferred format of reading materials; significant differences were found between grade levels' preferred reading topics in five areas (archaeology, crafts and hobbies, music, myths and fantasies, prehistoric world); significant differences were found between boys' and girls' preferred reading topics in four areas (comedy/jokes, poetry, science fiction, sports).
