DD7, young for grade AND skipped, took part in the kangaroo math competition with her third grade class and got the highest score in the class. I was actually a bit shocked, most of her classmates are 9 years old.
She also scored at the highest proficiency level for maths and language arts/grammar and spelling, but only at the second highest for LA/reading. Kind of tallies with that i know does and doesn’t come easily to grade skipped kids. Because DD7 also scores as high or higher than the 4th graders in reading comprehension and speed I was curious and looked up the requirements for the highest level for LA/reading and it said something like “at this level, children can make inferences about themes and plot, develop their own thoughts about the narrative and can write them down coherently.”
I thought it is a writing issue but DH thinks it’s maturity she is lacking.
