[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think the above poster gets it. First, no one will change her mind. She can’t tell us what test was give or why. She won’t explain why graduate students were testing her very young child. (what parent wouldn’t remember this information or want to disclose it if all true)?

To be at a 6th grade level, a tester would need her to test and pass the reading tests for both fiction and nonfiction AND beyond second grade, the reading comprehension testing has a big writing component to it. My guess is that this mom believes her kid is at x level and comprehending books at that level. She will always believe that. No one else will unless she can give concrete information as to the questions asked. As for LOTR, dad probably either stooped and summarized as he read or someone gave the kid the gist or she also saw the movie. I have no doubt the kid enjoyed it though & that’s great. [/quote]

I go by what multiple teachers and reading specialists tell me. Not what random internet strangers think. She’s just always been a really good reader with high comprehension skills. I know parents overestimate their kids reading ability, but I’ve only given you the concrete information I have been given by teachers and testing. You seem oddly hung up on a specific test. I told you she participated in a program where she was evaluated by graduate students over multiple weeks using multiple instruments. This was a lab setting. I’m not going to go into specifics because it’s  obvious you won’t be happy until I link the write ups. You’re unhinged. You’re also stuck on this specific book, LOTR. Which I never even said she read. In kindergarten she was given a 6th grade reading level. In 3rd grade she was 10th. In 5th she was college level. She will likely take college classes as a 12yo or maybe more like 13-14,  but they will be in math and science! And still, currently a rural public school where apparently PG kids don’t exist.  :roll: but, yeah, let’s continue to disbelieve every parent who says their 8yo read Harry Potter because it’s impossible! Literally impossible!  :roll: [/quote]

Wait, now we’re back to just Harry Potter? What happened to the 4 year old who could read and comprehend Lord of the Rings? This is fun :)[/quote]
