I asked her school to do testing; took awhile, but it happened. Don’t think the extent of tests are the same as what is done privately but, for what it’s worth, they found nothing to work with.
Learning how to read is not something that is always taught in schools - no matter how good the school. Some kids are good at plowing through whacks of content quickly; my kid needs more time, and better note-taking. During the school year there is so much busy work that reading large chunks of textbook when there’s another assignment due is a challenge for any student. I’m a big fan of re-distributing work-flow and while I don’t think schooling for marks needs to happen over the summer, a certain amount of maintaining subject retention can be a good thing in my kid’s case.
Academically, the balance is that going slower in courses was boring - acceleration was a better fit for their intellectual capabilities. Developing reading skills, however, is an ongoing process. So that’s the current need.
Since she isn’t going any STEM camps, the time is there.
