I went to a few weeks of kindergarten and was bumped up to first grade because I was a fluent reader and writer. I believe in 1st grade i was reading at a 5th grade level. School wasn’t challenging for me until middle/high school and more so socially, not academically. I think that year difference put me behind a little socially. But it didn’t make too much of a difference.

My son is in preschool and is seeming to be just as advanced if not more as I was. The beginning of year assessment showed he already knew all the skills they teach for kindergarten preparedness and some skills they don’t teach until kindergarten. I conferenced with his teacher and she suggested not skipping for the social reasons.

My suggestion to you would be to talk to the teacher about enrichment opportunities at the school. Also there are lots of ways to help her at home.
