How do we now that taught herself to read? You can't teach yourself (unless your Matilda I guess..) You still need to know your ABC to be able to read. Gothel must have at least taught her how to read and cook. She could have learned to speak by watching and listening to Gothel but teaching herself to read is really unrealistic.

And when your locked in a tower you are not going to have much to do besides reading. That does not show she is intelligent, back in those times, reading books was basically what people spent their time doing. It was the 'cool' thing back then.

I think we need to focus on her quick thinking and mapping stars. Those are the smart things. Her knowledge of art is pretty good too. (I bet up those three books she read were cook books anyway)
