Just to follow-up, we met with the school and we are going to skip. The meeting actually went really well!

So the plan will be to move to 2nd instead of 1st, with additional differentiation for reading. He's going to need more for math, and that seems to be the harder one to plan for, inasmuch as the school is more used to doing differentiation for reading. I think we'll see if we can get him started with EPGY OE in late August, so that he could hopefully use that smoothly at school, as well. If anyone has additional suggestions, they'd be most welcome! smile
