[quote=Anonymous]I am considering advocating that our school (private) hold my daughter back a year. She is not near reading fluently, and is just an early reader. She was premature, so her birthday should be in the summer (turning 7), but is currently in April. The school seems disinclined to do this, despite the fact that she has a high IQ but is performing poorly in reading and any written assignments. I think an extra year would be a gift for her. She is too young to determine whether there are learning disabilities. I think it may be developmental (she was 3 before she talked, but caught up rapidly). She is tall for her age, however, and they seem to think that is an important factor. Ideas on how best to handle? [/quote]
