[quote=Anonymous]Now that my kids are older, I can tell you that early or late readers should not be viewed as intellectual benchmark. I remember when my older kid was in first grade, a few early readers (reading Junie B by themselves) were showing off their skills. They were identified gifted but by 4th grade, some of them are barely keeping up. Being able to read is not the same as understanding the material. On a different note, a friend has a son who was at the border of benchmark at second grade somehow tested full score at 5th grade but was still a poor writer. A year later, the middle school teacher identified him as gifted. So, just let your child grow naturally. Don't let the crazy parents make you feel bad. [/quote]
