Just a thought, have you had his eyes checked? My DD took off with reading when she got her glasses. It might be an avenue worth exploring if you haven't yet.

FWIW, my DS 4.5 is also likely gifted but his interest in anything academic is often SO incredibly minimal. He just has better things to do with his time. His sister was reading thick novels by this age, but they just have different interests and personality.
