Arrg! My DS8 (3rd grade) just took the Winter MAPS Test today. His score is just one point higher than in the spring of 2nd. And three points LOWER than the beginning of the year. He started the pull-out gifted reading program this school year so I thought he was finally getting some challenge but his score went down! What the heck! I'm going to plan a meeting with his teachers but am not sure what to discuss. DS is afraid he will get kicked out of the program (which he says is still a little too easy but the gifted teacher disagrees).

HELP! What should I discuss? Any insight why his Reading MAP scores are stagnant (actually down 3 points from the last test) even after getting into gifted reading?
