I eqnr to clarify that I've inteoduces teice those three letrers because we have a HS material for 4 year olds that involves some sensorial material that she loves and letters was one part of the activities but I haven't forced and i don't want to force, ABC's. But she seems to really wnjoy reading and books.

[@Kathyfui]

I talk to her since she was in my belly and now she talks about everythong and narrates everything, she forms relations with characters from the books we have read, whe observes images and she describes what is happening or some characteristics from people and animals she sees in books. I just want to be sure and not to force her but also not to stop her in her own learning process.

I also have a 12 month who wants to cope wirh her sister.

I have a 2.5 year old and I've been playing with her with some wood letter a couple of times and just a couple of times I've shown her a few letters. When I say "a couple of times" it is really just twice.
But we have been resding since she's 4 months and I'm suspecting she's gifted. She recognizes one of the letters even in the stripes of the wall without me insisting in letters. So I have a few questions:
1. How can si know she is gifted.
2. Is it good, since I know not until 6 or 7 years to be ideal for start reading process, for her to xontinue introducing letrers? I don't want to force since she's so little.
3. How can I identify good poetry books for her. I live in Colombia and I don't have acces to your printed material. I plan starting homeschooling when she's 6, meanwhilr I am trying to lay foundations for school years as CM recommends.
4. Is it posaible for you to make a video about gifted children? That'll be so helpful to identify them and to work witj them appropiately.

[@Kathyfui]

I'm teaching her in Spanish since that's our mother tongue and since she already speaks like she was 6. So, I don't know if it's appropiate to start introducing English sounds pr if that'd be confusing for her. Please, help!
