High School Summer Book Group
Last summer the Chapter 104 department sponsored a book group for talented high school readers. Six students met three times with Chapter 104 consultant Patti Perkins to discuss several books. A favorite was Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Foer. Creative, funny and poignant, the contemporary novel challenged and engaged the group.

The Center for Talented Youth (CTY) at Johns Hopkins University
Chapter 104 students in grades 2-8 have the opportunity to participate in Johns Hopkins University’s Talent Search. This program is sponsored annually by the Center for Talented Youth (CTY). The purpose of the Talent Search is to identify, assess, and recognize the academic abilities of highly able students. To qualify for the Talent Search a student must score in the 95th percentile or higher on the reasoning section of a nationally normed test (the NWEA in Portland) and/or receive a score of an “Exceeds” on the MEA. Qualified students then take a test sponsored by CTY or the SAT exam if they are in seventh or eighth grade. High achieving students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of programs sponsored by CTY at Johns Hopkins. For more information about the talent search, check the CTY web site at www.cty.jhu.edu or phone 410-735-6278.
