yeah - sounds like he’s just got a great imagination.
my oldest son would sound out/sight read many, many words and would read entire childrens’ books to me at 2 yrs. old — when I sent him to pre-school at 3, they had to “bump” him up to the next class because he would read off all the lessons on the easel before the teachers could get a chance ... he got skipped up again from 4th to 6th ... some kids just have that gift — I don’t think they’re from Mars ... seriously
It may be his way of filling in his need for stimulation in a very boring Siberian world.

Nei9ther do I, I’m happy for you that your child was treated as a genius rether than a misfit.....for too often brilliant kids are mishandled by the modern school system....they sit bored to death day after day learning nothing. They (me) sometimes become troublesome and cause mayhem in the class. Congratulate your school staff that they advanced your child, God bless him/her and may he/she really contribute to humanity with their gift.
I had a neighbor and friend back in the 60’s that played piano by ear...when young her parents sent her to a teacher, but it didn’t help. She could hear something played once and would play it exactly after one hearing...not everyones brain works the same....then there are the democrats who’s brains don’t work at all......
