[quote=Anonymous]We have been doing Khan Academy since 2nd grade, about 2 hours a week. This works well for my kid who's been able to multiply in their head since KG. My kid is self-driven, so it works.

For reading, it wasn't until 3rd grade where we got the MAP reports with Lexile Levels that I understood where my kid was reading wise (at a 6th-7th grade level according to Lexile). I got Spectrum Reading Comprehension and Language Arts workbooks from Amazon at the 7th grade level and that gave my child the enrichment/supplementation they needed to beat the boredom and lack of instruction at their level at school. The Spectrum passages are diverse and interesting, so it peaks curiosity to explore topics further, usually.

My child also reads at least 3-4 books a month (non-fiction, novels, etc.). Again, mostly self driven.

My kid is usually 98-99 percentile in MAP-M and MAP-R.

Not bragging here, but trying to honestly answer OP's question. We are in a W district, for context. No private tutors. [/quote]
