Trinity,
Wow! We should be paying you for this advice! Great work! I love how you distinguished the difference between skills and academic subject readiness.
To all with gifted K and 1st graders: Please accept my encouragement and respect. This may be the most difficult period of time you will face in regards to advocating for your child.
To teachers and administrators: Please consider that most K and 1st grade curriculums are excruciatingly easy for any gifted child. Please consider early entrance and grade acceleration for these children. Over all, it is easier for everyone if the child is instructed at their level at the start of their education even if their skills are not as well developed as their intellect.
