I would definitely ask for acceleration and also send in books at my child's level if the school does not provide them. In DS's K school last year (changed to a different school this year for 1st grade) - I went in and requested the librarian to allow DS to check out books at the 3rd and 4th grader level because he was mostly reading non-fiction at that time and there were not much of it available at the K level and he was getting highly frustrated with the available book choices. She did a mini-interview with DS right there to see what he knew and what his interets were and immediately agreed that he could check out books of his choice. The same was the case with his teacher - she just upped his reading level and formed a reading group that fitted his level.
I see no harm in asking - what have you go to lose?
