[quote=Anonymous]OP, I wholeheartedly agree with PPs advising to have a discussion with your child's teachers...be diplomatic in describing your child's need for greater challenge -- you want her teachers to be allies and later, advocates for HGC if that's what's best for her. Our DD was also a very advanced reader -- reading chapter books at 4 and all of Harry Potter at 6. Her writing was also advanced...math too. We actually moved from another school district because they could not meet her needs and she had no academic peers in her grade. At her school at MCPS, she immediately found friends at her same reading level who shared her interests, and that made a big difference. Even better after she went to the HGC. We talked regularly to her teachers and they did a good job keeping her challenged. But we continue to stay on top of her at home too with enrichment -- lots of books, and math practice on Khan Academy. Daily journaling is a good practice too. Good luck![/quote]
