[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Defiitely call the teacher.  Give her a list of the type of books your child can read and tell her to make sure child is getting more work along those lines.  I think there are also websites online where you can direct the teacher to provide more advanced work for your child.  Research those and provide her with links in a follow up email.  She will appreciate the advice.  I'm willing to bet she has not seen a child who could already read for 6 MONTHS already upon entering k![/quote]

Huh, some kids read at 3-4.  Reading 6 months before K. is great, but many kids are reading before entering K.[/quote]

OP here. I assume this is sarcasm as a PP pointed out. Not helpful, and really not my point, but it's not a DCUM post without at least on snarky comment.

I appreciate the PP re: quiet reading time. I just wasn't sure how they handle it and we haven't talked to the teacher except for an intro at parents' night. I thought it would be helpful to point out in attempt to make her life easier (heading off a behavioral problem), but we'll see if that arises. Glad to hear it isn't inevitable either.  [/quote]

You're getting sarcasm because you assume that the teacher will be baffled and clueless in this situation and has never seen this situation before.  She/he is a professional.  This is a pretty standard issue for a K teacher.

They change up activities very regularly in K.  No kids, readers or non-readers, should be bored for long.  Point being, if you have a kid with behavioral problems, boredom shouldn't be the reason (assuming your kid has a decent teacher).[/quote]
