My DD6 is in first grade. We did not pursue a skip even though she tested at at least third grade in preschool at 4. Now she is in a public first grade with no gifted programming in first and a no skip policy. She started reading at 2.5 years old and is currently reading at the rate of an eighth grader etc. They may pull her out for math enrichment ONE HOUR ONCE a week starting in January, but that is a maybe. She has to sit through kids reading big books with sentences like "The cat sat on the mat" that she could read at 2. I met with her teacher and she has been placed in a class with at least two other gifted kids, one who seems to be extremely gifted, but they are both boys who are more mathy. I often wish she could meet a verbally gifted girl--I know there are tons of them out there. It is still the beginning of the school year but so far she is tracing the letters A and B.
