[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot changes over the next several years. Some of the early readers will be “average” later. And some kids who didn’t really read until 1st are “gifted”.

Connect/play with your kids, read to them, and love them. That’s all they need when they are young.

Yes to the late readers being gifted but not true with early readers or early talkers turning out to be average.  I’ve run data on this as a school administrator and read many studies on it.  [/quote]

+1. Early talkers and early readers always turn out to be way above average.  The converse is not true.  Late talkers and readers can turn out to be geniuses. [/quote]

Not universally. I know a kid who was an “early reader” because the mom did the “teach my baby to read” TV thing and had reading gadgets. That kid is most definitely “above average” at most now (in an “above average” area). Definitely not gifted. Spends 95% of time on screens since 9-10.

For naturally precocious readers, sure. But not the kids who were pushed into it. [/quote]

NP here and I agree with the premise that early talkers and early readers will always turn out to be bright.  “Teach your baby to read” wasn’t about learning to read/decode.  It was rote memorization which is why it was sued out of existence.  [/quote]
