[quote=Anonymous]Being able to read means crossing a great divide in the younger grades. As long as reading itself is the goal, those who can read will be bored in large-group settings and those who cannot will be behind. Once they move from learning to read to reading to learn, it all changes. Be patient, and in the meantime ask the teacher (now is fine) whether DC seems at loose ends or restless in class. If not, wait a little while to request any real changes. If so, just ask the teacher whether they have any enrichment assignments they can hand to DC (and others like DC, because there are certainly others) in down moments. Remember that the teacher sees a very, very different version of DC than you do, and the teacher knows some things about DC as a student that you do not - and vice versa. It is important to understand the teacher's perspective before trying to impose yours.[/quote]
