Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Age or Ability Specific Forums Pre-school 4 year old using made up words

my son did the same thing at about the same age. he had over 300 words by 18mos and taught himself to read by 2.5yrs. around 4-5yrs he had made up a language he called "fallalajah" and used to go around singing songs in the language. very cute we thought. it went away but he still remembers that he used to do that.
