My 6 year old son who is currently in Year 1 has just been assessed as having the reading ability of a 10.5 year old and the spelling and math ability of a 9 year old. I am not sure that this classes him as 'gifted' but obviously he has somewhat surpassed many of the areas that his current class is focusing on.

I m just wonderng what I should do with regard to the school. Do you think it is possible for them to meet his needs in his current class with added extension work? Should I see what they think about him moving over to the other class which is combined 1/2 so that he can focus on the Year 2 work?

He comes home saying that it is boring and I dont want him to loose interest as he has a long schooling career ahead of him!

Any advice is appreciated as I know I need to do something - just not sure what

Thanks,
