2.5 yr old intelligence-Is this normal???

[Inspired by Reggio]

I just sent a child like this off to JK in the Fall .... she was gifted with a self initiated passion and knack for literacy ... she was not only recognizing but writing the entire alphabet by 2.5 along with a few familiar words and by 3 she was printing about 30 different words consistently and reading the short phonics book like the 'Dog plays in the bog' type things where the word are all simple.

Mom shared that in school what they have ended up doing to 'encourage' her to not get bored is she goes up to the Grade 1 classroom for reading/literacy time because she is more on par with that level .... I had her here the last PD dad and she was drawing pictures and writing a full page story underneath ~ it had spelling mistakes but it was phonetically correct ... meaning the words were all spelled like they 'sounded' to her ... so Princess was Prinses and so forth but she is only 4 most of her peers are still mastering their 'name'

I certainly would not be concerned but if the child is gifted in one area as mentioned they will need to inform the school so that the school can put systems in place to support that and avoid the child having boredom or negative school experience because of it
