Two-year-old toddler Ayman Issaka has amazing reading and writing skills. He is at a level above kids who are even a few years older than him. Ayman enjoys reading and discovering new things in his environment while other kids his age prefer to play with dolls and action figures.

In a documentary titled '2-year-old Ayman the Reader' by Joy Learning’s Ella Aborah, she tells the story of the rising star.

Despite not starting school early, Ayman showed early signs of an intense curiosity for words, letters, and books.

He quickly developed a desire for studying, which helped him achieve unbelievable heights at a time when the majority of children were still developing their basic motor abilities.

Little Ayman's father, Issaka Abdul Daniyu, stated that he believes that the rhymes he downloaded for his son may have been responsible for Arman's extraordinary literacy ability.

“I believe that the rhymes we've been reciting at home and the cartoons he watches must have had an impact on him,” he said.

Again Mr Issaka said he realised Ayman's capabilities when he started pronouncing words and numbers at the MTN office when he went for a SIM card registration at the Accra Mall, although he had never been to school.

"Ayman immediately began to read everything, beginning with numbers recognising the colours and numbers on each teller box," he added.

Furthermore, Ayman's father said he objected to the school's request to enrol him in class one because he was too young, despite the fact that he could read.

Eventually, Ayman was two years old when he was enrolled in school.

Dr Marilyn Marbell-Wilson, a paediatrician at the Mission Pediatrics facility in Kokomlemle, provided an explanation for Ayman's abilities in terms of science.

She said Ayman has what is called hyperlexia i.e. a condition that enables kids to learn to read considerably more quickly than is typical.

The child’s impressive literacy skills continue to surprise many.

Ayman is one of the many stories that Joy Learning produces to highlight some common and uncommon happenings in education among Ghanaian children.
