We're in the process of retesting DS8 to confirm/deny a processing speed related LD so this may or may not be reassuring. He was tested in grade 1 at 6.5 and tested gifted but his writing and reading were behind at the time. Writing is still a challenge so we're retesting but from what I can tell his reading has really taken off. We'll know more in the next couple of weeks once we have his new results but I suspect he's above grade level now (I'm assuming National Geographic which he regularly reads would not be considered grade 3, maybe I'm wrong).
