[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for OP: What was your child doing academically that made you realize that she would benefit from skipping a grade?

Am curious because we think our DD is very advanced (reading books her cousin is reading in 2nd grade) and wondering whether it might make sense to apply. But we don't want to go through this if we're really off base and she's not really THAT advanced.

Can you tell us about the application process?[/quote]

This is OP: We didn't know that she could skip grade in Maryland as we never heard about this and we didn't want it. It was her KG teacher who recommended us to apply for it as she was thinking she had all the knowledge of KG and She was way mature than other kids in KG. That's when I started this thread.  After careful considering everybody's comments, we applied for that. It is very simple. You have to write a letter to the principal regarding you intentions and stating why do you think she needs to skip grade. If Principal is satisfied, then he/she will assess your kid for 6 weeks. During this time, your child will be tested by EMT  in Maths, Reading, Social Skills and most importantly how she grab the new concept. After assessing, there will be meeting with all the people involved including the parents and discussion how everybody think about the child. Then decision will be made. 
After one Week. My DD is very happy. But it is too early [/quote]
