She understood enough of LOTR to enjoy it.  [/quote]

That doesn't mean she necessarily understood much of it at all.  She could enjoy the cadence of your DH's voice and having snuggle time with her dad without understanding much of the book.  Lots of kids love sitting on a parent's lap and having books read to them, even if they don't understand anything.  If your DD's reading level was "only" 6 years ahead in K, then she flat out wasn't comprehending Lord of the Rings in pre-K.  Unless the kid passed some sort of reading comprehension test for LotR at age 4, then I call BS on any 4 year olds comprehending LotR.  [/quote]

No. She understood the story at age 4. She followed along day to day. This I am sure.

As far as school, we’ve been quite lucky. We have had a few bumps but that happens with a lot of kids.

Reading evaluations were 1:1 by graduate students and overseen by the head of the program. They used the letter system and were focusing on comprehension. [/quote]
What was the name of the precise test?  Why was it given?
