Dottie,
She has not had an IQ test and we are waiting for the school to give her the Nnat test. Otherwise, on the NWEA she took in January she scored in the 99% and had points that put her at 3rd grade proficiency for the state of Colorado. She is our oldest so we don't really know what testing or assessment they should be doing for her and what the information means once they give it to us. (We're on a steep learning curve:))
We have a PTC on Friday for the end of term and we're hoping to hear that they gave her the Nnat. Her school has not had a student like her before and they are a bit flustered and confused about how to handle her. They will be getting help from the area coordinator for GT, but we're pretty isolated here so it is a big thing to have this woman come down to the school.
She just turned 6 in February and as such is actually one of the younger ones in kinder (they have to turn 5 by July 1st of the year they enter kinder, so she was 5 1/2 but many of her classmates turned 5 last summer or in the fall.) She is also almost the tallest one in kinder, but one of the smallest in terms of weight and stature.
I think your right with her perception of how different she is being more pronounced now since reading versus not reading is a big difference.
I'll let you know what we find out on Friday about assessment of her.
