My now soon to be 6 year old is currently going to 1st grade for reading though she is in kindergarten, her birthday is Dec. 27 so they wouldnt let her start till this year though it would have been easier if they had let her start last year. She started school reading at a 1st grade level and even getting her sent to first grade for reading they havent moved her to where she needs to be. It is hard. I am going to have to fight this battle next year with my soon to be 5 year old. Her birthday is Jan. So again she couldnt start this year, but she already reads, knows her letters, numbers, letter sounds and shapes. The way I got things going sadly was because my daughter was misbehaving in class. My 5 year old wont do that so it is going to be a fight.
