I'd venture a guess (possibly, a poor one) that most students who would/could be seeking accelerated math can already read. Writing, at least for my kids, is the skill that has required much more parental involvement and has not been as "easy" as reading and (simple) math. Reading a lot doesn't seem to translate very cleanly into decent writing skills, speaking both from my own experience and watching one of my bookworm kids struggling.
