Lord Thatlatu of the Tofu I didn't start reading until I was 7. I was more a a math/language type of kid. I had an 8000-word vocabulary and a detailed understanding of Algebra by the age of 4. . . But they held me back for being too young as well. Even though I tested at the 9th grade level for math and language. How could you have an 8000-word vocabulary and a detailed understanding of Algebra before you could even read? This, Lattu, is something I highly doubt

Hell, I don't even have an 8000 word vocab relating to algebra, much less a detailed understanding of it, and I'm 19 years old....Math never was my strong point...I'm more of a writer/english/anything BUT Math and most phsycial activity person. I had a 12th grade reading level in the 4th grade at the latest, that's when they started testing me for advancement, if not for the 'introversion issues' or the learning disorders, I'd have skipped grades, but had help in math.

Wait, so, in what way were you "too introverted?" I still don't get that Anyway I've been testing PHS (post high-school) on the Stanford 9s since I-dunno-which-grade I've never skipped a grade, though, and never really wanted to

This, Lattu, is something I highly doubt Because I was the son of a geek and a bigger geek and Algebra is easy. That's how. I didn't know any real formulas or anything, I just knew a lot of the basic s**t. A LOT OF IT. As in more than most of you probably know now. My vocabulary these days is between 60000 and 80000. . . confused I did mention that I learned to play Scrabble and Boggle prior to learning to read, didn't I? 'cause that's part of it.

Nope, you just need to know how to spell. Reading involves some form of comprehension. I could do s**t, but my Asperger's kept me from being able to fully comprehend anything consciously until I was 8. xp
