[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]

Mine started kindergarten reading at about a second-grade level.  The phonics instruction was still useful, and there was enough differentiation that she was still learning something (often in terms of reading comprehension strategies, rather than decoding).  She still loved group story time.  Math is not just addition -- lots of work with patterns, shapes, etc.  And there's so much social/emotional stuff going on that she was definitely not bored.  It's a bigger issue now that she's in second and still reading three or four grades ahead.  [/quote]
