Hi! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I wish I still had the paper that said how long it was for because I don't remember, but I honestly don't think it was long. Maybe a few weeks to a month or two? I have no idea how long that stuff takes, but like like I said before, I remember it being a breeze. I have no memory of ever struggling, and I don't know how much of the aforementioned homework is actually from the intervention versus just regular work (some of it is also from 1st). Also, I don't know at what time during the year this happened, and I don't have any papers saying it happened in 1st at all (1st is when my report card said I was fluent, etc.).

If it was longer than a few weeks, which I don't think it was, how does that change things?

In all truthfulness, I just have a hard time believing that I would go from one extreme to the other, especially with my parents being average readers, if I wasn't gifted and the school was wrong. Also, I read that you can't "make" a kid gifted, so wasn't I born this way? I feel like my brain is just hardwired for language; fluency and pronunciation have always been pieces of cake. My parents think my talent is obvious.

I never watched SS really and I used to beg my mom to read to me and I remember reading ahead of her because she was going too slow. I loved it because it clicked for me where so many other things didn't. It made sense in my head.

Thanks!
