Oh, OK. I totally hear what you are saying. smile And I wasn't at all trying to be disrespectful. If my first grader was reading Harry Potter I am guessing I would suspect giftedness, but if you had never even heard of giftedness then I guess it is a case of you don't know what you don't know. smile

I guess with our daughter we just fall into that we've always known...she held her own book at 4 months, she started talking at 6. At her 3rd birthday party when her grandma finished reading to the kids, she hopped up there and read 2 more books to her friends. People have always commented, always suggested, always said something about her so at the ripe young age of 6 I feel like this has been on my mind for a lifetime...I guess because it has!
