I’m so happy for you. My child is normal and I have to stop myself from trying to push him.

Your son sounds so much like mine when he was 4! Sounds like he will have a wonderful year and has a very good teacher! ❤

Those are so nice. Wish I would have known about these when my little one was four. She has loved learning since she was a baby and I had to get her started with informal homeschooling fairly early. Blessings sweet mama. Thank you for sharing! 🙏☺️

Thank you for sharing! So much fun. For reading (phonics) I use the good and the beautiful "booster cards" I believe that will be all you need to learn to read but if practice I have been doing crafts with my kids and they are enjoying it.

Oooh so fun!!!! If you ever want a nature/animal/biology type curriculum similar to the style of books read and video format then you might love Idlewild Curriculum. We also work well on that format using a mix of real books and living books with videos going down rabbit trails about what we have learned. My gifted kiddos are loving it! It’s goes as far as they need it to. Thought I’d let you know because what Stephen likes sounds similar to what my kids also love. I just casually add on geography about places, activity kits, poetry etc as I feel inspired. They are loving the DK and Smithsonian spines and the Bible add on is beautiful and not kitschy ❤ I hope your little boy has the very best time digging into engineering this spring!

For my gifted boy we started teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons at 3.5 and then started midway through AAR level 1. We are now in level 2 which is great but may be too slow. He’s started to take off so I wonder if we should continue. I’d say he’s reading 2nd to 3rd grade level now. 🤷🏼♀️ he just turned 5.

For logic workbooks, have you tried the beast academy books? My 5 year old loves the puzzles there, but he doesn’t like the look of the beast characters and he won’t read the guide, so we don’t use it as a math curriculum. Otherwise it’d be a great fit for math purposes. He loves the challenge problems in Singapore math.

I've been very curious about Beast academy as a math program in the future. It looks like it could be a great program for a gifted kid. 🙂

My son has been reading since age 3. He’s almost 5 now and can read at a 2nd-3rd grade level. Any advice on where to start with formal lessons. The last 2 years he’s just been reading on his own. I do logic of English with my 6 soon to be 7 year old daughter we are about to start level C. I was planning on checking where he lands with logic of English, but not sure if it’s the right move. Any experience or advice is appreciated. Thanks!

I love hearing about eager readers! 🙂 I have not extensively studied guidance/research around the area of gifted education and all aspects of language arts, so this is just my intuitive response based on what I have read and my own experience. I'm assuming you're asking about teaching some kind of phonics, spelling, or grammar to him? Each kid is different, but my guess is that he will not be interested in finishing any formal phonics/reading program because it might be "busy work" to him at this point. Having said that, it would be an excellent time to teach a spelling program via phonics.(I kinda wished my mom would have done that instead of trying a traditional spelling approach with me.) I don't know very much about the logic of English, but it looks like there's a track that focuses on spelling and grammar, so you might check to see if that would be a good fit. One thing I do know about teaching grammar to gifted kids is that most programs are TEDIOUS. Ideally, I would have done grammar one day a week as a homeschool kid and sped through the entire topic of nouns, rather than having it drag on for a full month. Just be aware about those kinds of pain points as you work through any grammar program. 😊 Hope that helps!

My son is on a similar path to yours. He is a self taught reader, began reading at 2.5. We started LOE level A when he was 3.5, even though he was reading at a 1st grade level and tested into Level B. I didn't want him to miss anything important and he was younger than the recommended age. He just turned 4 and we are breezing through level B. Looking back I think level B would've been a great place to start. If your son is already advanced I would suggest skipping level A and starting in B. Im sure your son is like mine and reads everything in sight so you may want to skip the readers as they are a bit boring and he may lose interest in finishing the lesson. I hope my experience helped you in your journey. 😊

@87lilylover I have 2 tested confirmed gifted kids that are older and we have homeschooled now going into our 8th year. Both of my gifted kids taught themselves to read and write by 2 years old. We did zero formal academics before age 5 because there was no need to. By that time they didn’t need a reading curriculum as they were reading beyond an elementary level. Many gifted kids don’t need a learning to read program at all. I would just allow him to keep reading for pleasure. LOE foundations will likely be below his level since it’s designed for kids up to 3rd grade. You could use LOE essentials A instead. It is not colorful and cutesy but my kids hated cutesy things when they were 5. They felt like it was babyish. Essentials is to the point and would be more like a phonetic spelling program and it covers grammar.

In all about reading I had to skip the activities and the word card reviews because we didn’t need to review. My daughter is 6 and she is starting level 4. She could have completed level 4 at 5, but we took a breaks because I got bored haha! I love AAR but I definitely use it as a guide and adjust as needed. The positive is they aren’t slowed down by writing with AAR since it’s only reading.

My gifted daughter hated all about reading. OG programs were initially developed for kids with reading disabilities, but also do work well for average children. My kids did much better just practicing reading and using explode the code!

I can imagine gifted kids that have an easy time with reading to really hate AAR (I know I would have), but I think I've avoided that so far by going into it with the assumption of only doing small portions of the program. 🙂 We'll see what book 2 will be like! Actually, the OG method was developed for kids with dyslexia, which is possible for gifted kids to have too, and gifted kids that have dyslexia are included in the label "twice exceptional." I think AAR would still be a great fit for those kids.

You are correct in saying that academic advancement is not the only indicator of giftedness. Also, each gifted kid is unique: some kids start speaking with an adult vocabulary at 18 months while Einstein chose not to speak until he was 3. Some kids are doing calculus at 5 years old while Einstein didn't do advanced math until highschool. I encourage you to read the books I have linked in the video as well as checkout my playlists on giftedness for more information on what giftedness is actually like.
