Even with all the positive support from parents this kid is an extreme outlier. Terrence Tao supposedly knew numbers from Sesame Street at age 2, but I do not know of any avid kid readers at age 2. I know plenty of kids ages 3-4 who know the alphabet but none are actual readers. In fact I know plenty of kids who "read" a book at age 3, but they are not reading the way we adults are they are imitating the reading process. Anecdotally I was a relatively early reader at age 5 (reading whole scary Grimm's tales) but my mom keeps insisting it was age 3 when I know it was not. So if he really was reading at age 2 and half that is showing advanced potential.
