I'm not sure if they mean words or sentences or what, but just have a variety of books available, maybe read from picture-less books occasionally and leave them around in case she want to check them out on their own. Maybe have some adult-level books sitting around in case she's interested. I don't think you necessarily need to do anything about DVDs or Noggin. Make sure she has blank paper to draw on. Good luck! ;D [here via VDog, btw] My parents said that I ‘started reading’ at three.

He's brilliant as an adult and I am constantly amazed by him. You could have a little math genius on your hands too!

However, every single time we're at a playdate and he has an opporunity to demonstrate his brilliance so I can gauge by the other mom's reaction just how genius he is, he suddenly turns into a babbling fool. That kid's SO got my number! My kid’s a genius too (if you don’t believe me, just has his grandmas).
