Loy58, I have assumed she was being challenged. We do not have any G&T funding in MI, thus no G&T program at her school, but as far as reading goes, they have independent reading, so she has always been able to read at her own level. I think I need to discuss your points in greater detail with the teacher because I don't think she is being challenged in vocabulary or in reading anything other then fiction. I may have to homeschool her in these areas (something I have just gotten used to doing) to supplement the gap between school and where she should be. I believe she can physically READ the higher levels, I am not sure she has an 8th grade knowledge of vocabulary. I feel terrible that I haven't figured this out sooner, but 4th grade is still early, my goal now is to help her and hopefully her spring test will show an improvement. I don't care if she is in the 90's, I just don't want to see any negative growth. Very frustrating.
