I appreciate all the comments on grade skipping. This is a big dilemna for my family and we want to make the right short and long term decision.
My daughter was tested through a gifted program when she turned 4 years old at 3rd grade reading and the end of first grade for math and her writing skills were tested at 7 years, 3 months. At 4 1/2, she was doing multiplication and division, as well as regrouping/borrowing. Her reading skills has also improved. Since she will still be 4 years old when school starts, we're apprehensive about her being in the classroom with kids 2-3 years older. At the same time, we do not want her to be bored in the kindergarten classroom.
Could anyone share their experiences with kids in a similar situation (skipping 2 grades early on) and how are the kids doing now?
