Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 My son never skipped kindergarten, but he did start young. HE has an Oct birthday, and was 4 when he started. He is now in 7th grade and I have never regretted it. He is in the gifted and talented program. If your son is now 5 1/2, how old will he be when he starts Kindergarten?probably considerably older than the other kids? On the other hand, I would say there are more potential problems from skipping a grade than there are from being ahead of the class. My son was a very early reader-started, on his own!, before age 3, and I used to supplement what he did at school to challenge him-you might want to consider that too! Good luck.
