It does help lots, Jill. Thanks! Obviously I wasn't thinking creatively enough on this portfolio thing. As you say, even most PG kids aren't writing novels at age 6! LOL!

Our DS does have the achievement test scores to qualify him for YSP, just not quite the IQ scores, so portfolio probably does make perfect sense in our case.

Boy, this has been an exceptionally helpful day on the forum! laugh
