Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Learning Environments Any advice on what to ask about early K?

In that case I would find a play based preschool, do K on time and skip 1st. I just really worry about the ability of such a young boy to meet the behavioural expectations of a K classroom.

The advantage of a play based daycare or preschool is that everyone needs to work on their motor and social skills, and free play can be very mentally engaging where filling out a worksheet about the letter T is not unless you're only just learning about the letter T.

In terms of acceleration at school, it's much easier for a teacher to accommodate advanced reading than advanced math. It's also more common to be advanced in reading than in math so there will likely be other kids starting K who can read.
