Are the grade standards listed on World Book accurate?

Question

My DD is only 3.5 but we are homeschooling her because of her interest in learning. We know she is bright, but how far beyond what the average we do not know. I was just looking at the grade standards on the World Book site. Are the fairly accurate?

Answer 1

Every "standards" list will differ from every other standards list (every state in the US has one).  And generally, one is a good as the next.  I wouldn't use a standards list to determine if my child was advanced or not.  If I wanted to see what is generally taught at different grade levels, I'd compare several different standards lists.
