Our tester did say it was hard to qualify in prek.  I wasn't sure what the qualifications were.  Glad she made the cutoff.  She is definitely not one of these that is skilled and drilled.  I even own the 9 blocks and refused to let her play with them for fear of skewing the data.  I didn't get out my tons of DRA leveled books because I didn't want to pressure her into reading before she was ready.  When she taught herself how, I got them out for her.  

 Curious what prek holds at this gifted charter school.  They won't even let me tour it which does make one wonder.
