I want to ask where Can my son have IQ test?
He is 5 years (he is in kindergarten) and he can count until 100 and can do addition for double and triple numbers, he can do spelling and can write small sentences. he does subtraction(addition better than subtraction).
In his class he just takes letters and feels that it is so boring because he already can write . I want him to skip the kindergarten class, How can we do that?



Thank you so much.

Contact your local school board and see who does screening in your area. The name of the test you want is called Denver II.

Now, remember that giving the child the title of "gifted" has many more disadvantages rather than advantages. Have you made an appointment with the teacher? If not I would suggest doing so. While some children do well skipping grades, it is very hard on others. Children are cruel. He will get made fun of if he skips. Talk to the teacher, see what her recommendations are. Maybe she could give him some extra work to do in class.

What we are doing with my son (I chose not to have the label of "gifted" put on his school records), is he goes to kindergarten for the majority of the day, but leaves for an hour twice a week to participate in a first grade reading program.

How are your son's emotional and social IQ? Those are very important, especially at his age. Knowledge IQ is less important. My parents always stressed that it was up to me NOT to be bored, to find ways to go beyond the assignment, not for extra credit but simply to learn new things and to satisfy myself.

Rather than allow your son to whine and cry and "be bored," teach him how to not only do his best work, to check it, but also teach him how to find new ways and things to learn. Have him help write the family grocery list, write notes and letters to relatives far away, get books and other helps from the library, including books that teach a child how to do things. Insist that he be his own best teacher.

Mensa has a children's division. If you need phone numbers or contact names, please tell me where you live so I can connect you with them. It would be good to allow your son to be involved in intellectually stimulating and social activities with other bright children.

Also many children can do this in kindergarden if their parents work with them alot, many kids parents idea of helping kids is letting them watch PBS on TV.

To skip a grade here it is not a IQ test that has to be taken, but there is a exam to show you have the knowledge of that class.
Often in schools it is not kindergarden but at that end of kindergarden the child can be tested to see if they can skip 1st grade. (( at least this is what happens here)

A true IQ test is not an achievement test that quizzes about school subjects. An IQ test tests memory recall, logical and deductive reasoning, understanding sequence and order, spatial relations skills, and the ability to problem-solve.

As part of my master's program, I had to administer IQ tests to several people. The test included my saying a list of numbers and the subject repeating them back to me in the same order I gave them, then my saying a different list of numbers and the subject repeating them back to me in reverse order. The test also included putting picture cards in order to tell a story and rearranging multicolored plastic cubes to match the patterns that were pictured on cards.

Please remember, I.Q. tests should be taken at a young age(preferrably 3rd graders) because otherwise, the other stuff like life experiences get in the way. You may find a test by conacting your school special services, or by finding a physchologist

The things you described are not means to skip a child in Kindergarten. I am a Kindergarten teacher, and I can tell you that many kids are able to do that mid-year. I am not sure the depth of which you are describing his being able to add and subtract double and triple digit numbers, because there is a lot of knowledge that needs to be enforced to actually understand what is going on when using double and triple digit numbers...just because he can add the rows and gets the correct answer doesn't mean he understands place value... Also, all kindergarteners should be able to write small sentences at some point before they are promoted to first grade. I would highly discourage skipping kindergarten as it is a HUGE developmental period for children. If he is gifted, these abilities will come forth within the next few years and a gifted program will give him the necessary tests.

In order to skip a grade, students usually have to pass (at an advanced level) all of the end-of-the-year assessments for the grade (kindergarten) they are wanting to skip. This is rather difficult and ultimately the decision will be up to a board, or the principal and classroom teachers.

My son is in kindergarten. He can add, subtract and do beginning fractions. I taught him everything at home. He also reads at 2nd. grade level. So when he started school. He was so advanced. I felt like he wasn't learning anything. So I asked the teacher if they would pull him out for reading and math. they said he couldn't do that. I didn't want him to skip so instead they are giving him extra homework that he can do when he wants. She photocopies worksheets from higher up grades and sends them home with him. And she gives him level reading books from the higher up grades. And he gets the social skills he needs from kindergarten. He loves leaning things so he started taking piano lessons too. I don't think skipping grades are really a good idea unless they are so smart that they are 3 or 4 grades ahead of their age.
