I am just curious about this and wanted to see what went on with other kids with gifted range scores. I have read some of the Ruf lists and reading really stands out as a skill that most kids like mine would have by 5.
My son is not really a reader. He sort of uses a combo of sight words, phonics, and context to figure out what is being written. He is like a functional illilerate. He memorizes books easily if someone reads them. So maybe he is just being a bit lazy in that it is quicker to ask someone else to read it for him.
I am thinking it might follow the same path as speech with him. He seemed a little ahead in talking but nothing crazy until one day it seemed like he woke up with a adult vocabulary. Anyone have similar experience?
