[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you had the child formally tested? Two grades above in math and reading does not necessarily meet the official standard of “profoundly gifted.”[/quote] I was thinking the same thing. My DCs were reading at least at around middle school level by 2nd grade (according to the school's reading specialist) and both probably could have handle grade or two above in math, but they were then (and still are) no where near profoundly gifted.[/quote] We had our kid tested for other reasons at age 5. They were reading on a 3rd grade level but the tester stopped testing at that point as there was no point. But, there is more to reading than just reading words on the page with basic understanding. It really doesn't mean that much. My child is smart but not gifted. Can handle 6th grade algebra but I cannot see most young kids at OP age doing Algebra.[/quote]
