[quote=Anonymous]Very early reading can be a sign of giftedness, but my older child read really early and for him it was definitely not a sign of language giftedness. That is his weakness. It did turn out to be a sign that he is strong in the non-verbal domain and has a great memory. He was a rapid decoder. Kids who started reading late could blow him out of the water with verbal skills. There are children with dyslexia who are extraordinarly bright. So, as easy as it is to panic I'm just saying if your child doesn't read until 1st grade it doesn't mean he/she will struggle forever or anything like that.. My decoder was also a late talker. We did need lots of intervention, but the late talking didn't mean he had cognitive deficits, just like late reading doesn't mean that either. It could be if the child still isn't readying by say mid-K, the child needs some extra help, just like mine did for late-talking. [/quote]
