[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just say as the parent of older (college aged) kids...don't get too excited either way about your kindergartener's reading ability.  Two of our kids were reading at the 2nd ant 3rd grade levels in kindergarten.  They graduated from high school as good, but not great students.  Another one of our children had absolutely no interest at all in reading.  She was definitely not reading in kindergarten.  She wasn't really reading on level until second grade.  She graduated from high school a National Merit Scholar.  Her ACT and SAT scores were insanely nigh.  And she is a sophomore in college on a full academic scholarship.  Even as a very young toddler, she loved books.  She loved to be read to.  She loved to look at books.  She just had no interest in learning to read until she got older.[/quote]

Well, this begs the question do you think your younger daughter is more intelligent, or is she simply a more persistant dedicated student.  There's a difference in raw ability and execution.[/quote]

No question.  She is more intelligent.  She thinks on a completely different level.  We have five kids.  She is the only one who is academically "gifted".  That's why I get so tickled when parents brag about their brilliant children and spend thousands of dollars on test prep and tutoring.  We didn't do anything differently with her.  She just is who she is.[/quote]
