Though every child is different, most toddlers will be able to count to 10 by the time they are two-years-old. At this point in time they are probably repeating them mostly by memory and have yet to understand what they actually mean. This concept is known as “rote” counting.
Your 2-year-old now
By age 2, a child can count to two ("one, two"), and by 3, he can count to three, but if he can make it all the way up to 10, he's probably reciting from rote memory. Kids this age don't yet actually understand, and can't identify, the quantities they're naming.
Some gifted characteristics
They are often unusually alert and sleep less than others of a similar age. They can be highly curious and soak up new information. They often have excellent memories, and need much less repetition than others.
Most children can count to 20 between 3 and four, but some children just aren't ready to grasp the concept until 5 or 6.
Advanced Sentence Structures
A typical 2-year-old can construct sentences of two or three words, often without a verb. For example, a child might say, "There cat" for "There is a cat." Gifted children, however, will often be able to speak in fuller sentences at age 2.
Signs your kid may be gifted
Keen observation, curiosity and tendency to ask questions. Ability to think abstractly, while showing signs of creativity and inventiveness. Early development of motor skills (e.g., balance, coordination and movement). Finds joy in discovering new interests or grasping new concepts.
The two most commonly given IQ tests are the Stanford-Binet and the Weschler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence-III (WPPSI). The Stanford-Binet can be administered to children aged two and up, and the WPPSI can be given to children ages two through seven.
By age 2: Kids start recognizing some letters and can sing or say aloud the “ABC” song. By age 3: Kids may recognize about half the letters in the alphabet and start to connect letters to their sounds. (Like s makes the /s/ sound.) By age 4: Kids often know all the letters of the alphabet and their correct order.
Many two year olds will be able to differentiate between 'big' or 'small', 'fast' or 'slow' and 'heavy' or 'light'. Nursery rhymes and stories where numbers are a theme help children understand and learn better at this age. Your child will now be able to count longer sequences of numbers, up to 30.

Most toddlers begin identifying primary colors at the age of 2 years old. But, naming shapes is a type of skill that might take a little longer to develop for some kids. Generally, at the age of 3, many children can already identify some of the more advanced shapes.
It's one of many developmental milestones children tend to reach between three to five years of age, but experts advise against explicitly asking children to color within the lines, which could make the activity feel tedious. If your preschooler is still scribbling, not to worry!
Typically, by the age of three, children should be able to recite the alphabet. However, every child is different. Some toddlers may learn in their twos, and others might not pick it up until the late threes. Children generally learn how to recite the alphabet through repetition.
Signs of Giftedness in Children Include:
an ability to learn and process complex information rapidly. a need to explore subjects in surprising depth. an insatiable curiosity, as demonstrated by endless questions and inquiries. ability to comprehend material several grade levels above their age peers.
Between the ages of 2 and 3, most children: Speak in two- and three-word phrases or sentences. Use at least 200 words and as many as 1,000 words.
Toddler Letter Recognition
If your child is 2 to 3 years old, he or she may sing the alphabet song — but can't yet identify letters. About 20 percent of children can recognize a few letters by age 3, often the letter that starts his or her own first name as well as other letters contained within the name.
With all of that said, counting to 100 often and accurately can be mastered anywhere between the age of three-and-half to five-and-half years old, except no later than the age of six. This is about the time that most parents will really see their children can count to 100 without much help.
Between the ages of two and four, children's ability to understand the actual concept of numbers and counting improves dramatically. Most children are counting up to ten, or even beyond, by age four.
On average, most kids are able to read independently and fluently by the end of third grade, which is around when they are 9-10 years old. Children at this age are able to read simple sentences and storybooks. By age 11-13, your child should begin to use reading as a learning tool.
Hyperlexia is advanced and unexpected reading skills and abilities in children way beyond their chronological age. It is a fairly recently named condition (1967) although earlier descriptions of precocious reading do exist.
Kashe Quest has become the youngest American member of Mensa at only 2 years old, KABC reported. Kashe has an IQ of 146, or about 50 points higher than average Americans. She not only can count to 100, read full sentences and identify all 50 states, she also has memorized the periodic table, KABC reported.
While you can test a child's IQ as early as 2 years and 6 months of age, the results may not be accurate and may in fact change with age. The best time to test IQ in children is between ages 5 and 8.
2- and 3-year-olds will begin to create music with some accuracy without live or recorded musical support. You may observe your toddler exhibiting new behaviors such as: Singing short phrases of a song in tune, with the remaining notes not in tune. Distinguishing between different voices and instruments.
