Books:

Silverman, L.K. (2013). Giftedness 101. New York: Springer Publishing. This is a wonderful beginning resource on the nature and needs of gifted learners. It provides an excellent discussion of who gifted learners are, how they develop emotionally, and what to consider educationally. Good for both parents and teachers.

Webb, J.T.; Gore, J.L.; Amend, E.R.; & DeVries, A.R. (2007). A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children. Scottsdale, AZ: Great Potential Press. This book is a “must have” for parents of bright learners. It discusses both the joys and the challenges of parenting these children and suggests many strategies for guiding their development.
