It's been so long, I can't remember why you are testing, LOL! That's a little joke...I did review some of your other posts, but I'm still confused. Is he currently in the 1st grade classroom? There was some confusion about a transitional class...
Academically, I see him easily ready for the 1st grade class. His scores above DO suggest potential giftedness, and I think an IQ test would be a great next step. I'm not a big fan of generic writing tests, especially at this age, and am not at all concerned with the "lower" scores there.
His math and reading composites are quite strong.
Hi Dottie,
He was in transition at the beginning of the school year. They moved him to 1st grade in October b/c of behavioral issues and academic scores. Now he is in 1st grade the behavioral issues have improved, but have not completely disappeared. He is still bored with school and hates going. He 6.4 y/o.
His teacher said today, that she would give him harder math, but only grade level. He does multiplication and division. I don't think 1st grade math is going to challenge him.
Why does this have to be so difficult. I just don't get it. These kids are our future, they should be encouraged to succeed, not placed on a back burner somewhere and forgotten about. They could achieve so much given the right chance.
Sorry for the rant.
