Since dd#2 was 1 year old I suspected she could be gifted. She knew all her letters (upper and lowercase by 18 months), started to sound out words shortly after that, and was spelling CVC words by 2 1/2. She also was doing 100 piece puzzles before she was 3 years old. So she definitely always stood out as a very bright child.
She will be entering 1st grade in the fall and I was planning on having her privately tested (wisc) by a psychologist who has many years experience with gifted children. Months ago I was extremely excited to test her to find out what kind of learner she is, etc.... but now I'm starting to have second thoughts and worried that she won't make the gifted program at her school.
Has anybody ever had doubts at the last minute?
