[quote=Anonymous]IDK if DD is gifted as she is only 3, but was reading at 2. We did not review phonetics and had only covered the alphabet. We did read to her a lot and the only reason we found out is because she would read street signs, marquees, and finally words on grocery bags. We shrugged it off but when she read “please recycle” we decided to test her ourselves. So we grabbed our laptop. Typed out words and asked her what they said.

She knew all her colors, shapes, and animal sounds by about 20 months. Whenever we’d play with her blocks, animals etc, I’d ask her to hand me each one and just stated what it was when putting it away. So when I asked for the parallelogram or octagon, she’d give it to me. IDK if that shows giftedness, I just assumed it was associative memorization.

I wrote unique lullabies for her, and if Dad sang the lyrics out of order, she’d correct him, lol.

She’s decent at addition and subtraction as long as the numbers are below 20. We don’t have any flash cards but ask her to practically “apply” her knowledge. For example, if she has 10 strawberries, and 5 is given to brother, how many strawberries does she have left in her bowl.
