Thank you all for the different helpful advice. My daughter is 8 , she is a very quick learner and I belive she is truly gifted and very matured fir her age. Math is not a concern to me as I belive she is learning advanced stuff in her AAP program . I see that has been a great fit for her. For some other personal issues, the school does not want to acknowledge her writing and reading level. It is a long story. So that is what bothers me. [b]They have intentionally not even placed her at the highest level reading group in her class.[/b] So I need to do it for her by my own. Yes I am now having her work on her typing skill this winter break as I thought that would also help her with her writing as she loves to write. But as a parent when you know that a school is working against your child reaching her potential, you can imagine how you fear that your child does not stay behind. So far she is okay , I don't even know how she keeps progressing against all odds.[/quote]

What was their intention in placing her in a reading group that is not the highest reading group?[/quote]

She probably think her daughter's emergent reading level is her daughter's mastery reading level.  Children read books at their emergent  reading level to progress.  However, for classwork and learning about the art of the story, character development.... teachers frequently use books at the mastery level.

"Personal issues" could mean that their is a personality clash with one or more students and the teacher has separated them.

Many times there are reading groups and parents and students erroneously think one is higher than the other, when they are on the same basic level, but the students are grouped for other reasons. [/quote]
