She's not been taught it at school - she's just been a voracious reader since she was very small. She's years ahead of her classmates in her reading ability, and I am in no doubt that the exposure to so much of the written word is behind her grammar and spelling.
Now - if ONLY she'd put the same effort and enthusiasm into getting on a bike and learning to ride....
sounds like my 10 year old daughter, who was at the level expected of year 7 students by the end of year 5.
