[quote=Anonymous]Grade benchmarks are set at the 25th or 16th percentile. If it is showing where the middle 50% are- then they are between the 25th and 75th percentiles. If they use standard deviations, then the 16th percentile is used as the benchmark. That said, reading two grade levels above is definitely not the norm- but in the absence of other indicators- it may just indicate a good reader. I would look to see how they do with comprehension, background knowledge, critical thinking, vocabulary.... Reading (and math facts) are skills people use to access and understand information. They are not highly correlated to intelligence. There are many people out there who read well below their education level and are highly intelligent people. There are also highly regarded mathematicians who need a calculator for the basic math facts. [/quote]
