A friend of mine is sending his dd to private school and apparently she can read books by herself, count & write up to 200 and is writing using proper joined up writing. Her spellings are words with 5 letters and she sounds terribly clever.
I was really impressed and told him that his daughter must be a bit gifted, as that is extremely forward for a 4 year old. He was surprise and didn't believe me. He thinks it's average. So I promised to show him what most 4 year olds can do by this age. He was interested in this. Only thing is, I don't actually have a list and I wondered if anyone else could point me in the direction of a site which explains how extraordinary this is.
It is isn't it? I know that the school only has classes of about 12, and that is costs rather a lot. But I still thought this was good.
