Are you going by the SBV or WIAT scores to make this comment?

It seems to us that whenever we talk to administrators or other gifted parents they all mention that their children were reading Harry Potter when they were born. Our child could do math well beyond their years and loved to study science but reading, not so much. I hear stories all the time about someones child that taught themselves how to read by the time they were 7 minutes old (sarcasm alert) but I don't hear much about math or science. Even the tester didn't get into multiplication on the achievement test which they would have blown through.

So I'm I missing something? Is reading the standard for gifted kids?

Thanks,
