How will I know if my child is keeping up with other children their age?

The subject areas where this is most important are in the areas of reading, language arts, and math. Most of the time curriculum is offered according to the appropriate grade level. If your child is mastering the material you can feel confident he is on target. Standardized tests can also be used for comparison. In other subject areas you need to cover the material throughout those early years, but it does not matter whether the child covers a topic like weather in third grade or fifth grade.
