[quote=Anonymous]To keep him challenged, check out library books at the level he is comfortable with. Ask lots of questions to help him verbalize his comprehension of the books. Also consider checking out lots of nonfiction that might interest him--those books can be challenging in other ways and also help him gain greater understanding of science/social studies. At school, it's fine to ask the teacher what his instructional level is (and if the books he is bringing home reflect that). Ask what skills your child is working on specifically. I understand having a kid who reads (and comprehends) well above grade level, but the default on DCUM is for people to assume that the child is only decoding, not fully comprehending the text (or is not meeting some other criteria the teacher might have). My DC could read and understand much more complicated books but not necessarily reflect that understanding in skillful writing, so those were the skills teachers worked on. [/quote]
