Oh good! Give me the slightest encouragement and see what happens . .

Let's call it peri-literacy then, and use it with our relatives and
schoolfolk as appropriate:

"Yes, that's right, Mother Gertrude! We're so excited! She hasn't even
reached school age and she's already peri-literate! Well along in fact, and
all on her own! We've done some checking, and your son, that smart rascal, has
discovered there's not one school program in the tri-state area designed
especially for her unique abilities! It's beginning to look like she'll she'll
need private opportunities to develop her own gifts at her own pace --"

<this would be completely honest for my family and the school programs
here, well, except for the Mother Gertrude part!>
