Like someone said, there is reading, and then READING. DS5, PG, was a self taught reader at age 2.8 yrs. And shortly after, by 3 he was reading full on chapter book type stuff.
DS2.11 "reads" level one type stuff and has been for a couple of months now. Still, no comparison to what DS5 was doing at this point.
So I guess for DS5 early READING was a sign of him being PG but DS2.11 is not showing the same strong signs. This is where this comment that was posted hits home.
"I probably watch the speed of acquisition and depth of understanding as more significant to me than age based milestones."
This is what makes me think DS2.11 is way up there in giftedness as well. DS5 didn't have the same acquisition and depth of understanding that DS2.11 when he was this age. Completely different types of intelligence.
