    Thank you for all of these practical ideas. They are all really helpful and are giving me some great ideas to get started with.

    My husband is Japanese and only partially onboard with the homeschooling idea. Japanese schools are even more memorization-and-test focused than American ones, so I know that his idea of me homeschooling is more like sitting DS in a chair and lecturing from 9-3. Even though that wouldn't be what a traditional school at this age would look like.

    It's also comforting to hear from other parents of gifted kids who weren't early readers. You seem to only hear people saying, "I first knew she was gifted when she started reading Shakespearean sonnets at age 2." smile

    I dont have anything to add, I just wanted to chime in on this. DS is 4, and he has not yet begun to read either.
