Welcome Chris! I too was shocked when my math loving kid scored very high in verbal areas, I guess b/c he's not a very verbal kid but he too could be read to for HOURS. My second son is much like your DD2 - very verbal early on...his strength will probably be math lol. My best friend's DD who was precociously verbal as a 1yr old, score very, very high in Perceptual reasoning lol and we had her so pegged as hitting the ceilings in verbal areas!

I just finished reading "Encourage your child's writing talent" and in which it spoke about drawing in young, gifted writers.

It seems odd that the school will require him to be evaluated again next year. I can see perhaps if he was Ker when evaluated, but a 2nd grader? Many schools eval in 2nd grade for placement in 4th.
