hi all
Last night i started reading Dr. Ruf's newly titled book "The 5 levels of Giftedness" that i just got in the mail. I was very interested in what she said about READING as my DD5 was tested as HG, acts HG, and had some early interest in letters, but is still not reading. Before i owned the book, i had seen the five levels characteristics and thought there was no way DD5 fit into any of them because of her lack of reading.
However, i was happy to see a note on page 53 where Dr. Ruf says "Although a sign of giftedness, the onset of this skill (reading) seems harder to pin down and relate to a particular giftedness level than most of the other abilities. Also, it may or may not start before age five for any level."
