Hi - Caitlins school did a Ravens test on her last week (with my permission) and the principal said her result was in the 90th percentile.

I feel a bit dippy for not knowing what to ask at the time - but what does it mean for her schooling this year ? 90% of what ? of who ?

Her teacher said early in the year that she is bright and that she would have to have ways to extend her during class - but the readers she brings home each night don't hold her interest and the work sheets are a lot of 'color the pictures that start with the letter 'whatever the letter of the week is'.

I centainly do not want to push her because in every other way she is very five years old, but if she has some extra skills in literacy and numeracy, then I guess I would like to see something more.

Thanks,
Barb.
