[quote=Anonymous]I'm not an expert by any means.  I do remember our head of school saying they were not concerned with reading unless a child was not reading fluently by the end of 2nd grade. (This assumes that the child is constantly progressing in skill level, however).  And that the head of school's own daughter almost hit that deadline, but somehow reading just "clicked" for her, and now she won't stop.  So it makes me wonder if your daughter's school feels similarly about your daughter.  Is she making progress at all?   Is the school able to offer differentiated instruction to help her get to the appropriate reading level for her grade?  Has anyone mentioned or discussed getting additional reading help outside of school?   I'd have those discussions with the school and if they cannot accommodate your child at her current grade level, then I'd use that as the basis of my case to hold her back.

FWIW, I personally would stick it out, based on what you've described.  But I'm a big believer in parents know best.
