A Google search, which brings up Davidson articles among others, shows that the two are linked. It's the other way that's not linked-- reading later doesn't mean a kid isn't gifted. Further, the earlier they spontaneously read (teach themselves), the higher their IQ.
No. You cannot infer even a ballpark IQ from any reading milestone. If you think you can, please point to some research support; I'm eager to learn. Anecdata from the likes of Ruf's Levels are not adequate support; I am looking for some reliable way to convert an actual reading milestone to an actual IQ number.
