Abstract	When the author started homeschooling, she would listen jealously as other parents discussed curriculum for reading and math, two subjects that her daughter never needed any instruction in as a young child. She was eager to try out curriculum, but her visual spatial daughter was not quite ready for learning on paper. She found out that searching for the right curriculum was not exactly the fun job she thought it would be. Everything she tried seemed to have major flaws. She realized that because curriculum has to be written for some fictional "average" child, even curriculum written "for gifted children" is unlikely to fit her children like a glove. Through some experimentation, she found that the really major problems are easy to fix. In this article, the author discusses how to adapt curriculum for gifted learners. (ERIC).
