[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS can read fluently and started K.  They're doing art, math, Spanish, ELA (which I assume is both pre-writing and pre-reading), PE, music, etc.  The "work" they do is only a small part of it.

At home, I supply him with interesting books to read, both fiction and non-fiction, as well as discuss books, reading, writing, spelling, numbers and math, etc.  [/quote]

I really appreciate this.  My DS is 4 and reading well in preschool.  My assumption is that there will be more than enough new experiences and challenges in K and reading level and ability will be a fairly small blip early on.   I know that acting out because of boredom is a common concern, but my (totally gut feeling based on nothing) view is that life isn't always exciting and new and learning to control himself when under-stimulated will be a valuable skill to have.  I'm happy to provide challenges outside of the classroom if he turns out to be truly advanced.

Obviously we aren't there yet, so I might be completely off base.[/quote]
