I guess that depends on how s/he is defining "gifted reader." Is it in terms of achievement or verbal ability? I tend to define gifted as ability moreso than achievement, but I know that not all do. For instance, my local school system would most likely define you as gifted in reading as well b/c they define gifted in reading as high achievement coupled with something like teacher recommendation, parental recommendation, high grades, behavior such as sensitivity, or ability scores.
