Thank you, Ashley. I need to research the tests more because I am worried about him hitting the ceiling of the subtests.
I am a former teacher and have a lot of friends in the system still, which is a great asset for us (sort of, they don't know what to think about our DS, they cannot believe his ability and worry about his education as well).
I've read over the new standards online. He's definitely in the 1st grade range for reading, math and writing. He's suddenly obsessed with inventive spelling and writing stories. So as far as early K being appropriate-probably not but what else can I do? Where will he be when he's in K and 1st? 3rd grade level?
My basis for early K is: those early years are so critical for social skills, I am worried about total, complete boredom, thus behavioral issues. Also, this could help reduce chances of grade skipping. Some of my teacher friends just say, "Let him enter K at 5.5 because you are not going to get him in early and then they will skip him to first." I just feel like, can't this kid get one good year of social fun before the insanity of begging for differientation and talking about grade skipping begin?
