[quote=Anonymous]Also keep in mind for the reading (and math to some extent), that being able to decode and follow a story line is not the same as full comprehension. The school is going to be looking for things that you aren't necessarily looking for when they assess her reading (and math) skills, and will be pushing her in ways that you may not know how to (unless you/your husband are teachers). My son in 3rd grade was reading Lord of the Rings - I know that he can read it, and follow the story, but he's not getting out of it what I would expect an older child with more advanced reading comprehension to get out of it. That's ok - he can re-read it in a few years and get more out of it. Just don't get upset if the school says that your DD is at say, a 2nd or 3rd grade reading/math level when you expect higher.[/quote]
