DS 6 is also in the highest reading group and in a gifted and talented 1st grade. He is not in any reading group and just reads on his own. At school he is assessed at reading at middle of 3rd grade but I don't think the teacher has gone further than that as she has no books available past the level he is at. At home he reads at 4th grade or whatever he fancies! DS doesn't like to read so I haven't brought up the subject with his teacher as he would rather read easier books than harder books. He would be very happy reading picture books all day! The teacher knows he can do more but she said that she really just can't accomodate him and their are lots of other things he is working on in class, which is true, so I haven't pushed it.
