I advise you to talk to your son's teacher. Speak in a happy and upbeat manner and ask if she can assign him more advanced work, or if she'll allow him to work on books that you send for him. With my ds1 I had positive experiences in preK, and second grade in this respect. My son had to do his regular work, then he did more advanced work. It didn't work with his first or third grade teacher, however, and my son regressed academically those years. If the child is not challenged at this young age, he will not learn good study habits, and his brain may not develop to its full potential.
