The WJ III results indicated that he needs to be pushed more. It was recommended that we bump him up two grades when we start a new school year.
Why not bump him now?
Is the recommended someone who is knowledgable about the curiculum?
What curiculum do you use now? Do they have 'end of year tests?'
It seems like you've had a difficult time figuring this kid out - it might be worth it to pay a curriculum specialist to work with you kid a bit and figure out where he needs to be, and then help you plan what to work with. If you are in YSP, you can ask you Family Consultant to see if they will provide this service to you 'no charge.'
I've also heard that the MAP is availible to homeschoolers though a Florida group, and that MAP is specifically designed to help teachers answer the question 'what should I teach next?'
