I just wanted to add, as a mother of gifted children and a 1st grade teacher, that I feel that it is my job to meet eac child in my classroom at their level, especially in reading. I have 2 PG students in my class now and feel that I have been very successful at enriching their ed. this year. They have made tremendous progrgess and learned a little common sense and social skills as well. I often see gifted students whose parents want to skip them a grade (or 2), but do not realize that their education should be tailored to where they are anyway. These students also often need to be with same aga peers to learn social skills.
