[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL. Former teacher here and parent of sixth grader reading on 12 grade level on latest test. This is not a reason for skipping a grade. If you think your child is gifted get a WISC test (IQ) from a neuropsychologist. [/quote] I appreciate everyone’s perspective. The school has sent me a letter saying they want to get her tested, but they need my permission. [/quote] Then have her tested. Both my kids read far above grade level and still do, but neither one is sufficiently advanced in all academic areas to recommend skipping a grade. I'd strongly lean against doing this unless it's strongly supported by the school and outside testing/consultation. Your kid may statistically be the outlier that's eligible to skip a grade, but it's more likely that statistically she is not.[/quote]
