Designed for Spanish-speaking educators and parents, this pamphlet discusses academic acceleration for gifted children. Major types of academic acceleration and their benefits are described. These include: (1) early admission to kindergarten that saves parents of gifted children the expenses of a year of preschool, allows children to be accelerated without the disruption of social life and curriculum that later grade skipping might cause, and provides bright students with intellectual stimulation; (2) primary school advancement that allows gifted children to skip grades; (3) secondary school acceleration that includes fast-paced classes, continuous progress curricula, independent study, part-time college course work, special classes or schools for high-ability youth, and advanced placement classes; and (4) early college entrance that allows students to enter college as early as age 10 or 11 and increases the likelihood that they will pursue graduate studies. Well-known programs that attempt to create a positive environment for very young college students are listed. (CR)
