At the age of three, he began to read, far from a winderkind, there were many such in the USSR. Not Hugo, of course, obviously got rid of it, but let's say Mummy Troll definitely before school.

In the USSR, my mother-in-law had already worked as a teacher. Her eldest son-wonderkind, if you believe her, read at 3 years old without any training (he called the beast by the picture at 8 months, and in the year counted to ten), and the younger learned to read at 7.5, already in school. Taking into account the mother-teacher and brother-wonderkind, you can imagine how the whole preschool childhood was washed over the child. He, by the way, finished the university with a red diploma, defended his dissertation, his career is not as successful as the senior, but every better than my. I also learned to read at 3.5. In high school, it does not matter at what time you started reading, writing, telling poems, the program is one on all, the square equations and the structure of the atom go strictly according to the schedule.
