Great GAI....I also had concerns about the writing but given what I've seen this child present I also believe, as you do Dottie, that these tests may not measure those skills well. He writes a ton, is very creative, writing full chapter books. His punctuation, grammar, and use of vocab is spot on. There is excitement, adventure, and drama in his writing, and his characters have depth and talk "in conversation". It will be interesting to read the report (at this time we only have the scores) but it does make me feel stronger about the idea of skipping...
