[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did you decide that your child is reading on a 10th grade level?  X and Y are 6th grade level.  Z is 7th.  It's honestly not that uncommon for bright 4th and 5th graders to read books in that range, especially for fun.  I wouldn't assume that a child reading level XYZ in 4th/5th is even gifted.  It's really much more common than you would imagine.

It's also not uncommon for them to slum it and read under their level for enjoyment.

OP here.  I'm going off what his teacher reported.  Z is DRA's 8th grade level.  I [b]have no idea how she knows that he'd reading at the 10th grade level.  I'm assuming she has a way of assessing that. [/b]

As for being gifted, DS has been tested. He's is profoundly gifted with an SB score above 160. There are a lot of gifted kids in this area, but not a lot of PG kids.

Why are you hung up on how gifted DS is rather than responding to the question.  Oh, you're one of those people who is convinced no child discussed on DCUM could possibly be gifted, and tearing down the poster. [/quote]

It is nearly impossible to believe that someone like you sound to be, hears her kid tested at reading at a 10th grade level and yet she does not follow up with the teacher to see how that was determined.
