That is such a great point that they are probably skipping the more "fun" subjects in order to get everyone to where they need to be, I bet she'd love to do science or history stuff at home. She still loves being read to so at bedtime we always read something together. Thanks so much!

My daughter is 7 and in first grade in public school. We are just starting down this path of exploring other options for her as her class is way behind grade level in terms of reading and math. I've spoken with her teacher who said she doesn't have time for differentiation because she is "teaching down" to the rest of the class so she can't "teach up" to DD. Things I'm considering are part time homeschooling (I work full time so in an ideal world we'd pull her for language arts/math and have her attend with her peers for everything else), after-schooling, or just sending in curriculum she can work on while the rest of her class is STILL learning their letters and numbers. As of right now she is begging for harder stuff to work on when she gets home from school, we don't have time afterschool to do something every day, but I'd love to make a basket of things she could pull on that we could work on together or independently. For math, I just bought Beast Academy 2A after reading lots of recommendations here and I think that will be perfect for her to do at home whenever she wants after school because it feels fun and different than regular work. I'm struggling with what to give her for Language Arts - she is reading way above grade level and LOVES to read. I don't think I need to "assign" her anything in terms of reading, and I don't think she needs any phonics help as she seems to be beyond that. I gave her the All About Reading Mastery test because its the only thing I could find to see if she is "done" with the learning part of reading and she did great on it. So I think we should probably focus on grammar, vocabulary, spelling, writing, comprehension, etc. Any suggestions? I just recently got her a Scholastic Success with Writing workbook that just goes over simple capital letters / punctuation and stuff and she has really enjoyed working on it but its really short. Thanks so much for any recommendations, there is SO much out there which makes it hard to figure this out, especially when we're not 100% sure what path we are going to end up on.
