Thank you so much for all the responses! I'm especially encouraged to hear that the NNAT can be a good predictor. I mean 99th percentile sounded good but it was only one test so I was hesitant to assume that he was gifted based solely on that. I'm hoping the Woodcock will be more in depth and help fill in some of the blanks.

It's just tough because we don't want to punish him for something he can't control but at the same time we want him to work hard and always try his best.

Again, thanks for all the info. This is so new to us we're a little overwhelmed! It's nice to know we're not alone though. I'm going to get my hands on a copy of that recommended book.
