[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son could fluently read before entering kindergarten and his teacher did not do reading groups for him. She only worked with the kids who couldn't yet read. He got ignored and did worksheets way below his level. I think a lot of schools don't give kids any accelerated work if they can read because it is so much easier to do nothing with the kids that can read until the other kids catch up at the end of first grade or second grade. He is in first grade and I am still waiting for him to get any work on his level. At the beginning of the year there weren't any chapter books available to read in his class because the teacher told me that wouldn't be fair for the kids who couldn't read them. She only had books at or below a first grade level. [/quote]

Sounds like you have a very special snowflake indeed.  He probably will never be fully and properly served by his current school, and you should probably pull him out and put him in a private for extremely extremely gifted kids, maybe even one where he is the only one in his class so he gets extra special attention.[/quote]
