[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 578516"] I don't have much to add except that she has a late birthday... Which may be part of it. PC18 has a late June birthday and I should have held him back- school wanted to- but I had him evaluated and then tutored over the summer to enter 1st grade and he needed & had extra help for two years. He did catch up by grade 3 and was excelling by grade 5- but it was rough in grades 1 and 2. In retrospect, he would have been better repeating K. He had so many kids in his grade who were 12,13, 14+ months older than he and it was hard - maturity wise. It's a big age gap in the primary years. My h repeated K (10/25 birthday, cut off was 12/1 back then) and it worked out great for him. Just a thought if your cutoff is 9/1- a 7/15 birthday makes her very young among her classmates. My hindsight for pc18 thinks that being an "oldie "in the class would have been better than being the youngest. Just a thought... [/QUOTE]
