My son tested at a third or fourth grade level in reading as a kindergartener. His writing was better than kindergarten, but not yet really beginning of first grade. They moved him into the highest first grade reading group, which was still too low for him. His writing has picked up very quickly.
In math, he really needed to be placed with third graders to get challenged, but because of stamina, writing, and emotional development, we all decided not to accelerate right now, and the gifted specialist is working with him and a couple other kids in the kindergarten classroom.
