Appaently this is one of the highest reading scores ever for the lower grades and the hightest combined score through fifth grade. I have looked at the NWEA site trying to interpret these results but have had little luck... Any suggestions? Also, given these results I am not sure how to approach the (private) school for second grade.

Sounds like he's quite a reader! (Reading norms page 143 Math norms page 155) http://pickens.it.schoolfusion.us/m...ssionid=14d1e9266e4482d198ebc39c6e6bc9c3 These may help with ways to differentiate his reading: http://www.sowashco.k12.mn.us/ro/Pages/studentlinks/map/reading.htm http://www.foridahoteachers.org/ID%20State%20Learning%20Continuum.pdf
