He knows how to read and do math at 3 years old

At the age of 4, but Phan Dinh Quoc Bao, a kid in Quy Hop district, Nghe An, knew how to read, write and do mathematics at nearly 3 years old. Specialist Vu The Khanh, who "appraised" many prodigies, said this boy was special.

Arriving in Chau Thanh mountain commune (Quy Hop district), when asking about the boy who read at nearly 3 years old, Mr. Nguyen Van Sy, secretary of the hamlet of Hoa Thanh, immediately said, 'That boy is at the end of the hamlet, is an ancient prodigy rare in this mountain forest 'and then led a reporter to Phan Dinh Quoc Bao's baby house.

While playing with the neighbors, when my grandmother called me to 'read', this pretty and handsome young man came running home, took the book and the newspapers. The guest gave it and read it voraciously.

Although this year is only 4 years old (Bao was born on August 9, 2005), she said that it was not really good, but all the newspapers and papers that the reporter gave, she read quickly, almost without misspelling, Many abbreviations are also translated correctly by the people quickly, such as People's Committees and People's Councils in administrative reports.

In addition to reading ability, Bao can also write and do math. When asked, Bao did not hesitate to recite the multiplication table. The addition and subtraction operations within the 2-digit range are calculated by me quite quickly. For large numbers, thousands, baby Bao placed along the numbers and added and subtracted the memory correctly. Her writing is still bad, but it is very spelling.

Uncle Phan Dinh Quang, grandfather Bao said, more than a year ago, the family sent her to kindergarten at the semi-public preschool in Chau Quang commune, but after only a week, she asked to stay home, did not want to going to school because "I know all the letters".

For the first time, family members discovered that Bao's ability to read is when he was carrying his grandmother to play, to meet a car, Bao read the license plate for his grandmother, not one word. Seeing strange people, going home, everyone just gave me a book, then I read it clearly and read it very quickly.

Bao's parents are teachers, working in the South, because of the difficult economy, they sent their children to their grandparents to raise from a young age. Her family worked in agricultural areas in poor mountainous areas of Quy Hop district, had no conditions and books to teach her much.

Also according to family members, since birth, Bao has developed normally. He loves to interact with people, loves watching television and always appears to be an active boy. 'His parents are far away, his grandparents also worry about doing business, no one teaches them how to read or do math, so his reading and writing makes people very surprised' - Mr. Phan Dinh Quang affirmed.

Witnessing the strange ability of Bao, Nguyen Ba Son, cultural officer in Quy Hop district, this is a special case, for the first time in this mountainous district."We are encouraging our families to create the best conditions for them to develop their full potential," he said.

According to Vu The Khanh, children are considered prodigies when:

- There are special abilities, superior to a certain field, such as language, math, painting, music . compared to other children of the same age, the same living environment.

- Often these children have in common that they have the ability to memorize very fast and long, have sharp senses.

- This ability must remain stable from the time of exposure to adulthood.

Mr. Vu The Khanh, General Director of the Union of Applied Informatics Technology, an agency specialized in appraising child prodigies and extrasensory phenomena, said that although more tests are needed to test the IQ but can confirm that Bao is a special case, can be called a prodigy.

"For normal children, going to first grade still has to work very hard to acquire simple calculations and to read and write well, it must be meticulously instructed. Meanwhile, this child Having those abilities when I was 3 years old, whether or not I was taught by adults, I have a special ability , " said Khanh.

According to him, currently, the phenomenon of prodigies is never quite popular. The best development direction is for adults to let your child learn normally like any other child, should not pressure; Do not do too many tests, do not skip any stage so that the baby does not develop a deviation.

"There have been many children with special abilities, but because of the pressure from family and society from early on, when they grow up, those abilities are also stagnant over time, many even not as fast as normal children developed in a methodical way , "the expert emphasized. .

Previously, 3-year-old Phan Chi Bao in TP. Vinh Nghe An also revealed the ability to read, write, do math very early, but the case of Phan Dinh Quoc Bao has surprised many people because this boy was born in a mountainous commune, a difficult family economy. and must live away from parents from a very young age.
