The author's suggestion that early reading predicts skill at "code-breaking" types of math is interesting. But the article doesn't discuss different types of early reading. I'm curious whether phonemic early reading predicts a different type of math skill then whole word reading. DS6 had strengths in both, sounding out words at age 2, and whole word reading at age 3. Consistent with the article, his math skills are stronger than his literacy skills (writing, silent comprehension).
For those of you with precocious readers (that includes your DS Dottie :)) - was there a particular strength in either sounding out words or whole word reading? Do they excel at any particular types of math?
