Precocious Reading Ability: What Does It Mean?

Jackson, Nancy Ewald

Gifted Child Quarterly, v32 n1 p200-04 Win 1988

This research review concludes that precocious reading ability is a complex skill, and levels of specific subskills vary widely among individuals. Precocious reading ability is moderately associated with general intelligence and with academic achievement. Parents may encourage the early development of reading through natural and mutually enjoyable activities. (Author/JDD)
