[quote=Anonymous] I sympathize, OP. I have a 2e kid who could read and enjoy many books for grown ups but never tested more than 2 grades ahead until he reached 5th grade, when his testing level finally rejoined the abilities I had seen ever since he learned to read. Part of it was his learning disabilities, part of it is that this kind of testing isn't perfect and will not adequately describe some children at the fringe who don't develop their verbal, writing, comprehension and decoding skills ALL at the same pace. And you threw shyness into the mix, which makes it even more muddled. I know it's frustrating, but I would be patient and not worry. Let your child bring higher-level books to read at school so the teacher is well aware he can enjoy them. And work on reading comprehension: Inference Jones and Reading Detective are two excellent workbooks he can do to bolster his understanding of what he reads. [/quote]
