Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Age or Ability Specific Forums Anybody have a boy who learned to read very early?

It's impossible to say, but it does sound as though you've got a very unusual little boy there. FWIW (not much, they're all different) yours is doing a bit more maths and a bit less reading than mine was at that age, from the sound of it, and mine is hapy with age peers, but in an extremely flexible school and various differentiation. It's well worth swapping a 5 minute walk for a one-hour bus ride in our case; but your calculation could well be different.
