[quote=Anonymous][quote]Well, first of all, we didn't do anything except read a lot. DC just happens to be one of those kids who picked up reading very fast and very easily. It's not uncommon. There are a lot of these kinds of kids. Second, we know it doesn't mean much in the longterm and that the rest of the kids will catch up in early elementary school. [/quote] That is nice of you to say, OP, but the gap just keeps getting wider and wider. Very smart kids are just a bit smarter than their peers at age 4. By age 8 they are 2 grades above. By HS, they are in a different world. And by college they are in a different college. If the trend continues you may have to find a better education that is in the local school.[/quote]
