This study examines whether nine Czech precocious readers’ performance of a set of pre-literacy,
early reading, and spelling tasks from kindergarten through the fi rst two grades of primary
school was different from that of nine non-precocious readers selected as matched according
to school, age, and gender. The profi les of Czech precocious readers for literacy and literacyrelated
language skills are reported and discussed in line with the international literature. The
data analyses showed that compared with their matched peers, Czech precocious readers show
superior performance on knowledge of letter sounds and letter names, phoneme awareness,
reading fl uency (decoding), and spelling in kindergarten and also in the fi rst grade. In the second
grade, the two groups of children do not differ in terms of phoneme awareness and reading
comprehension performance, while signifi cantly better scores are reported for reading accuracy,
fl uency, and writing for precocious readers.
