Unlike five of her siblings, my 2 year old shows no signs of ADHD or executive function issues (Yeah!!). HOWEVER, she is far more advanced than I've ever seen in a two year old. I was planning to do Level A with her next year just because I'd like to have some guidance for one-on-one time with her, she ADORES books and I don't want to stifle her natural progress.
She just turned 2 in January, but when I looked at the readiness assessment she scored 100% on language skills and social/emotional skills. For cognitive skills she is no/emerging for shapes, colors and sorting by texture. I have seen her sort by color before so I know she knows how to sort and match but she can't name colors. I've never seen her try to cut with scissors or open a twist-off lid and I'm not sure she can walk on a balance beam or put together a 2-3 piece puzzle. Other than that, she's solid on fine motor and gross motor. She also understands that letters make sounds and that the words in books are related to those sounds. She looks at books and starts saying random sounds as if she's sounding out the words like her big brother/sisters who are learning to read. But she gets that there is a real connection here and showed signs of that understanding at 13 months
I'm definitely against rushing kids ahead of their emotional/developmental maturity (hence the reason my early reading just-turned 5 year old is doing SC 2 and 3 instead of jumping to MP1). With future moderation in mind, should I be considering Level B for my 2 year old instead?
