[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is at grade level in reading (I might be the only mom on DCUM AAP board who's child is not ahead). She's extremely advanced in math. In 2nd grade is multiplying 3 digit numbers and doing long division, oftentimes in her head. The AART and teacher keep pushing for AAP. Her NNAT score already has her in pool. Who knows what CogAT will say but we're just not feeling it. She is an average reader at best and her fluency isn't even that good. So we're not filling out any forms. If she gets in, we may opt out entirely or have her do LLIV. But she is a kid who is very strong in math but does not belong doing advanced verbal/reading education of any kind. In fact, we're thinking of getting her a reading tutor. That said, not sure that's a reason for centers to go. It's just a reason for my child not to go to a center. [/quote]

Reading can be affected by many things and isn't as highly correlated to intelligence as other factors.  There are tons of super intelligent people with so so reading skiils.  How is her language otherwise? DC has dyslexia and he has always been significantly below grade level for reading, yet qualifed for AAP. [/quote]

Below grade level reading in AAP?  That's exactly the point I think the OP is trying to make. [/quote]
