I am new, but have enjoyed reading many of your posts.
I have a 2-year old daughter with a late November birthday who started reading sometime between 18 and 20 months. For a while, I believed she had just memorized all her books, but I finally convinced myself that she could recognize words when I typed them on a computer and she was able to read them.
She is currently enrolled in a Montessori program, but we're looking at alternative private school options for pre-K on. The problem is her late November birthday, which misses the cutoffs in Virginia, DC, and MD. I'm hoping to convince the schools to make an exception, but I would like to have an independent assessment to strengthen our case. Since the private schools we are considering require applicants to take the WPPSI�III, I was considering having her tested as soon as she turns 2.5 (min. age for the test) to have the scores in hand earlier on in the application (or negotiation) process. However, would it be more advantageous to wait until she is closer to 3 years (the latest age we could schedule the test is 3 years because results are due at the schools in January 2009)?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
