Any suggestions for language arts acceleration in a public school? The school is very willing to work with us, but it is far easier for them to do so on the math front. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
For various reasons, a grade skip is not an option (already +4 grades in math anyway). DS will be in third grade in the fall.
Thanks.
We initially asked for this, as this area is our dd's strength. The school said no due to scheduling. Although I was initially opposed to a full grade skip, it became clear we should consider it and do the IAS, which said dd was a strong candidate for a skip (from 5th to 7th). It was the best decision and she has thrived. It still isn't totally sufficient, but she is happy. We are enriching with things like Shakespeare camp.
But for subject acceleration, check out Michael Clay Thompson. Maybe your ds could do it on his own during LA time.
