I�ve suspected that my son is somewhat gifted. There�re many aspects of him match the description of a gifted child from articles I�ve read. I also received his report card showing that he was tested at the first semester of 1st grade that he was able to read 5th grade materials. Does a fresh 1st grader being able to read 5th grader�s materials mean more than usual? I observe that he is bored in the classroom. He told me all the stuff the teacher taught him in the classroom was easy. I asked him how easy it is and he said it�s like an object on the table that you only need to pick it up. I do not want to falsely expect my child is gifted but I do want to give him an opportunity of an environment that he can thrive. Should I make him do a test and what that would be? He is a 6 � years old in the first grade at a public school.
