This article describes Success Express, a program planned and implemented as part of a collaborative 1990 Javits project for gifted students between Lamar University and Texas A & M. The program has been continued by Lamar and Beaumont Independent School District as a two week summer program to identify high-potential, low-income 4-5 year olds and provide them a boost for success in kindergarten. The program focuses on expanding the gifts and talents of the children through an active engaging curriculum, integrating reading and algebraic thinking.
