Is Ruf's Levels of Giftedness still floating around in cyberspace? It is a good back of the envelope estimate for how gifted a kid really is and how rare kids like that really are. Bottom line is that they are pretty rare in general, but not very rare in certain populations. (Such as highly educated parents.)

My kids both fit the description - reading at a 4th or 5th grade level by the end of K and both are EG/PG.

Not that a sample of 2 is meaningful....
