- jwrallie 1y agoThey are two separate skills, most obviously in languages such as Chinese or Japanese. If he can only read the sounds that is half the work, and is amazing on its own. I’ve started reading at 5 when my father was at home during a short period of unemployment. He was quizzing me about sounds of words with similar letters and I was a curious boy. It seems that just giving kids attention works. I’ve entered first grade at 6 when all my classmates were 7. Looking back I think it’s best to not create much age difference from your mates, there is already an (at most) 1 year difference that occurs naturally in the yearly school scheme. There are more things in the body that progress in parallel other than intellectual abilities, I was always underperforming my classmates in sports and maturity for example.
