[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My child is in 3rd grade and is 2+ years ahead. Reading at 9th grade level. [/b]DH is strongly against skipping as he was skipped and so we supplement with music, sport and second language. No genius either, but smart. [/quote]

So your DC is 6 years ahead? [/quote]

Yes, in reading. I am not really sure what to make of it other than DC is a very good reader. 
Math 2 years ahead. We started supplementing in K because it felt school had become 90% socializing.

I have a question. What test do they administer to get the reading level? [/quote]

None other than the parent sees what he reads and "assesses" him.[/quote]

Not true, I was told at our last parent teacher conference that my third grader reads at 9th grade level, the highest level they test. 
We are fortunate that our private school differentiates. However, I often read that public schools might do a better job  for advanced students in middle or HS. I posted in response what to do with an advanced kid. We are doing what we think is best and but wonder often if we should do more. 
Hence, that's why I am here looking for inspirations from others. [/quote]
