I have a "stealth gifted child" I have 2 children. Ever since my dd was in preschool, I was told how smart she was and that she was ready for kindergarten a year early and how it was too bad the school district here does not grade skip. She talked early, walked early, and was reading simple Dr. Seuss books before she started kindergarten. On the other hand DD6, walked a bit late, didn't really talk until he was nearly 4. The only thing others commented at preschool was how well he could build using blocks. He also learned how to ride a 2 wheel bike over a weekend just after he turned 4. I was shocked when the school sent me back his WISC scores and he had scored in the 98th percentile overall and the 99th in PRI. My daughter hadn't even made it to taking the WISC. (The school district here uses Naglieri as a screening test) DS6 barely reads at grade level, but LOVES math and is capable of math that is several grade levels ahead.
