Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment New; looking for help decoding WJ III test scores

Hello,
My son (age 5 years, 1 month) was recently tested for the WJ-III. I am looking for help to decode some of his sub test scores. Based on these scores, would you say he is gifted or just academically advanced ?

Here are his Broad Reading scores

Broad Reading

Passage comprehension : 137
Basic Reading skills 172
-- Letter Word : 168
-- Word Attack : 159

Brief Math
-- Calculation skills : 120
-- Math Reasoning: 131
-- Quantitative concepts: 131
-- Applied problems: 121

The person who tested him remarked he had very asynchronous skills. If it helps, it said that his reading level is that of a 9 year old, and that his math skills are equivalent of a 6.5 year old.


I am wondering if I should request any academic enrichment through the school district. My son tends to not do the work or space out, if the work is repetitive (for example, the letter tracing pages). However, he seems to learn things fairly
easily.


Thanks in advance.
