When
DD 14 was in fourth grade, book report time came. The class was suppose to read Babe. Well DD had read it maybe 1st grade. I can't remember now. She was reading The Golden Compass. I asked the teacher if she could do her book report on the Golden Compass instead of Babe. The teacher said she could as long as she did not tell anyone else in the class. We decided that she was already having social difficulties that we did not need to increase that. It was also the impetus for changing schools. I would find things that interest her and find ways to incorporate those into the class at a level that is good for her. Mine was really into mythology in 4th grade and so at the new school she got to do her book reports from books at her level about mythology. There were other kids also interested in mythology and did book reports at their level.
