do you believe a 3 year old little girl was accelerated to grade 1? what can you say about that little girl..?

Question

this little girl i mentioned was happened to be my youngest sister..she's really a genius..he can read and write well as a grade one student...but you know its hard for me to believe thats she's smart as early as that age....

Answer 1

i think the world is full of child genius' and prodigys. some are found in schools, others in sporting arenas and others musically gifted.

in terms of schooling, accelerating a young child so soon has some complications. for example, what happens when she enters year 7 at the age of 9....dealing with issues such as dating and racism?

with your sister, although shes bright and has been accelerated, dont forget about her mental age. she may not be ready to understand or deal with mature issues that will arise. its not her fault at all, shes just exposed to things she wouldnt normally be exposed to at such a young age....

keep it in mind and when ur sister becomes the first female president of america, im sure ur gonna be there smiling asking for a country to be named after you

Answer 2

I baby sit for my 3and 1/2 year old granddaughter and she's been described as being shot out of a cannon. I can't keep up. Is it in the water, the food, the air. I'm happy she's content, a lovely girl and interested in all kinds of things. I must say her mother is a high energy person, so perhaps that's it. I never was and never will be one of those high energy people unless you fill be full of caffeine and then it ain't pretty. I think mothers and teachers can do it because not everyone in the classroom has that amount of energy, at least not all at the same time and mothers learn to cope with it. I would also imagine a lot of patience is needed too. Phew, tired just thinking about it.

Answer 3

While she may be academically ready for 1st grade, there is no way that her cognitive, social, and emotional abilities are up to that same level. I believe that there are geniuses, and you should be proud of your little sister. However, your family should be careful not to put her into situations she can't handle. I would definitely encourage her advanced skills through one-on-one tutoring and perhaps a special class for bright students. However, I would still encourage your parents to put her in preschool so that she is around students her age and social skills. She needs that--the connection with boys and girls that are like her in many ways that first graders can't possibly fulfill. I would gradually ease her into being in those advanced grade classe. Being 10 in 7th grade is a lot different than being 3 in first grade. Even then it will be strange and she won't develop at the same rate, but she will be much more able to adapt and better equipped to handle situations that crop up when dealing with students 3 years older than her. Six-year-olds just wouldn't know how to handle having a three-year-old in their class. I hope I helped, and I wish you all the best!

Answer 4

You might be surprised how many kids can read and write by age three, but it's not necessarily a good idea for them to skip grades. It catches up with you later on. She may have a mental age of six, but an emotional age of three. There are plenty of enrichment activities for kids like that, but if they go through the public school system three years younger than their classmates, it doesn't usually work out too well, especially when they get into their teens. Believe me, I know this from experience.

Answer 5

I was 3 years old when I started Kindergarten. I could read, write cursive, do math and I was completely bored with the people in my class. But I did miss out on a very important thing-socialization skills. I was 4 in first grade, 5 in second grade etc. I might be very smart about learning things, but my people skills are almost non-existant.

Answer 6

A three year old with beginner reading skills, impressive. However, no matter how you want to argue it, a 3 year olds gross motor, fine motor, social skills, and maturity lag behind that of a 6-7 year old. Talk about having a hard time making friends and possibly getting made fun of. Unfortunate yes, but physically she will be far behind as her friends are developing and she is still, well, child-like. (and with that I am also speaking of her future interaction with boys) I hope home school or private institute is a strong possiblility!

Answer 7

I started 1st grade one year early and had a hard time socially. But I am sure your parents looked at he pros and cons already. So all I can say is "go little 3 year old"

Answer 8

When I entered kindergarden, there was great surprise that I was reading and doing addition and subtraction. Throughout my school career, my mom would never allow me to be accelerated. I was excrutiatingly bored and never did fit in. Your sister is lucky to have parents willing to match her environment with her abilities. Good luck to your family.

Answer 9

she must be really bright, but more importantly, your parents must have done a good job of exposing her to the world of reading and mathematics.

My only concern in such cases, is the fact that they'll be bullied by peers.

Answer 10

Thts really Damn Fantastic.
may u can expect great things from her to the society
Let u all people encourage her so that her name may exists forever in history
