Thank you for the information and links to the other posts!
1. I do keep a reading list, and was able to give this to them. They immediately took her for a reading and comprehension assessment while I met with the principal and she scored well above grade level. Though they did try to tell me before they took her that I was probably mistaken, she really wasn't able to read...she just picked up on the context and pictures.
2. This is a great idea! She does gymnastics and dance and we have mixed age groups at our church that have never been an issue.
3. I do think it's just lack of experience so I did mention the research put out by the acceleration institute in a hope that it will at least begin some conversations at the schools.
4 and 5. We will start looking into these things. The educators guild looks like a wonderful resource!
Thank you so much for your advice!
