I love that you talked about this as the parent of two gifted kids, because thats your experience and a perspective that's often ignored. But a lot of non-gifted kids benefit from early reading too. I dont think my toddler is particularly gifted, but he's still a kid who is SO curious about the world and itching for independence. He wants to know what every sign says, the sounds every letter makes, how to read every book on his own... Why wouldnt I help him unlock these mysterious symbols that can help him better understand his world?

Yes, I totally agree with you! And I love that you're following his lead. He's lucky to have you!
