Wow, that is great that they have bussing back and forth. Surely there are other kids in DS's school that are gifted. I doubt there are any PG, but gifted at all would be nice to pair him with for some things. We do have math and reading specialists...But they are for the whole school and there are like 270 kids there...so not sure if they are only focused on helping those who struggle or not. But that is a great idea, I will ask about that during our meeting.
Yes, I have been thinking about that literacy group that you are referring to. I also think he would do just fine reading in the classroom while other kids are doing whatever, and then he can answer questions about what he is reading. He does need to work on explaining what he is reading, even though he does comprehend it because he is able to answer questions when I ask. And he could work on more abstract questions related to reading...like "why do you think so and so said that?" and things like that.
Good luck with your DS this year!
