[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want to derail this conversation, but what happens on the other end of the spectrum. My daughter starts kindergarten in the fall. She has been reading Bob books for months now, and gradually moving onto harder books. She can also do basic addition pretty consistently (subtraction less consistently.) I'm sure she could happily sit quiet and learn letter sounds, but do most schools also pull out some kids that are further along? [/quote]

Ask. At our ES your daughter would be on the upper end of the class but not entirely alone. From what I heard from a neighbor whose kid was in that situation, at our school there's not much other than being in the most advanced reading group for kindergarten differentiation. Neighbor wasn't super enthused, and all the principal offered was skipping to first grade (!).

That said, differentiation does seem to improve in first. Or at least it did for us (I'm the PP with the one kid who was ahead and the other who was maybe slightly behind or just at the minimum).[/quote]
