[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Friends (including some who are teachers) are constantly marveling at what my 6-year-old daughter is reading (i.e., sixth-grade level chapter books), stories she's written, and the way she can describe how complex things work. People often ask me what I'm doing to make sure she is challenged in school. The honest and apparently insufficient answer is: nothing.

I think you are a troll.

* If you have friends who are teachers they would be the ones to ask for advice not some anonymous forum.

* I doubt your 6 year old is reading 6th grade level chapter books.  I have a 6th grader the subject matter and vocabulary of his chapter books are beyond what a 6 year old could read and comprehend.

* People would never ask a parent what they are doing to make sure she is challenged in school, that would just be an odd question.

If your child was truly that gifted it would be evident in a school environment.[/quote]

OP here, and grateful for a good laugh. Yeah, I tend to befriend really assertive people. It has its pros and cons! And my few teacher friends' advice has limits because they teach in different states and different school levels. As for my daughter's reading level and how it relates to the curriculum, the responses I've gotten on this thread are quite helpful for thinking about that.[/quote]
