[quote=Anonymous]I look at it this way. There's aptitude and then there's ability. My child took a WISC (measure aptitude) and got 95% in math and 99.9% in verbal. FSIQ was 136, meaning child is considered "gifted" but not genius level- except for maybe the verbal area. Anyway, the iready (measuring ability) scores in 2nd grade were only high 80s, low 90s. So there was a disconnect between aptitude and ability, which I interepeted that the curriculum was not sufficient. I started supplementing outside of school by March of 2nd grade and what do you know, the iready percentiles went up to high 90s by fall of thied grade. Child got into AAP on appeal and the winter iready continued similar percentiles so I do believe this curriculum is sufficient. [/quote]
