There are many kids in her class that fall into the gifted range, so I would guess that she is in a reading group with higher level readers.
I guess it would be worth it to confirm that she is in the highest reading group, and to see what level the books for that group are - if they are 3.4 for example, then everyone else is probably congradulating themselves that 1st graders are so above level. So there could be many gifted readers and yet none who can keep up with your dd. Or they may be ready and able, and yet the books might be pitched at an unchallenging level.
I 'love' those 'don't worry it happens to lots of kids' comments - I'll bet if you stopped feeding them then lots of kids would level off on their weight gain too but no one wants to try this and find out. But I do think that part of being human is to be more alert to singular events than common ones.
Love andMore Love,
