[quote=Anonymous]I'm not the OP, but when my DD was in K, I was told by the teacher that she'd never seen a child score so highly on the initial reading assessment, so I did know she was the top reader in her class.
In my experience, the K teachers usually give the advanced readers are more sophisticated version of the same assignment -- so while other kids are maybe drawing a picture of what they did over the weekend, the kids that are already reading are asked to write a sentence describing their picture.  Most K classes also have an in-classroom library where the kids can pick out a book for their free time.  My child does this every day.
You can also ask the K teacher if your child can go to the school library more frequently than once a week -- my kids teacher lets them go every day if they are done with the book they checked out.  
But my advice in general is, so long as your kid is happy, don't push it.  Take them to the public library on the weekend and help them pick out some decent books so that they're not just reading Pokemon Novellas all the time (which is what they'll pick out at the school library).[/quote]
