[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At that age, it’s best to keep things fun and encourage curiosity. Lots of trips to the library, museums, children’s theater, nature centers. Don’t expect a parade from the school. It’s not that unusual for young children to s ore a few grades ahead. But he also needs to learn social skills, routines and other things that kids learn in the early years.[/quote] +1 All of this, plus the suggestion about a language or instrument so that your child develops the "habit" of hard work. But also remember this - reading "at a fourth grade level" just means hitting the benchmark that MCPS wants every single child to be able to hit by that age. It's not that your child is reading at the level of an advanced or even "normal" 9 year-old. It is that they are reading at the baseline level that every 9 year-old, including those who came into school with no pre-school, should hit. [/quote]
