What I think is very important is to have a PLEP (Present Levels) Section that is very complete. Take a look at what they have written and see if you think it is complete. Did he hit the ceiling on any of the reading tests or grades otherwise. If there were grades that for K said that he exceeded the standard, ask by how much? How many years ahead is he in each subject compared to benchmarks? Once this section is nice and complete, it is often easy to know what the child is going to need.
I think I read before that you are in PA. You might know that a year or so ago, PA changed the law a little for Chapter 16. The GIEP now needs to address your child's areas of strength, so you need to figure out what that strength area is. It could be more than one area, like Reading Comprehension and Math, or whatever.
Then you will need to write goals in that area. You could have him do an independent project on a topic that interests him. You can ask for Math pre-testing and if he gets 80% or better he needs to have differenciated materials ready for him to do instead of listening to the lecture for that topic.
I know that is vague, but maybe if you have more thoughts about his area of strength I could think about it more.
