I recently checked the reading level of some of the books he
has been reading and found out he reads books at 2.5 to 3.5 grade level for pleasure. I can't stop him from reading but I am a little concerned about him getting so far ahead in math. Should I let him continue with EPGY?
Yes, IMO - although keep watching, and if he stops loving it, let him stop doing it straight away. Also, watch out for opportunities to let him just play with numbers, shapes etc., because actually that's more important to his mathematical development. It would be a pity if he spent time on EPGY that he would otherwise spend on that - but my experience with a 2yo was that there was plenty of time for all kinds of different activities.

I'll make my usual point: if they're going to need special treatment at school, it's a lot easier if they *obviously* need special treatment at school.
