Cool. If I try that with my 5 and 7 year old, they shout "boring" and run to the far side of the house.

Presumably you can read problems aloud to the 6 year old. But also, kids can (if taught; this is by no means a necessity) learn to read much earlier than they can learn to write numbers with a pen. My two kids both could read very well by about the time they turned 4.
