How old were you when you learned how to read?

Supposedly I was two. I remember reading my set of encyclopedias the summer after kindergarten. I also remember someone giving me a couple of the Ramona books for my 6th birthday, which I really enjoyed around that time.

I could read somewhere in the 3-5 range.

I was around 2 when I first learned how to read.

I learned to read and speak around the same time age 6 or 7,
by the time I reached the sixth grade I was reading at a ninth grade
level, in high school I could read at college level.

I remember reading the Funk and Wagnalls encyclopedia when I was in kindergarten, so I must have been reading before that...

One of my earliest memories is being obsessed with reading. My grandmother taught me how to draw and write my name at two. I remember learning how to write the alphabet around three but not knowing really how to read. I asked everyone I knew to teach me how to read- I was told to wait until I got to "big kid's school". I remember I was suppose to start kindergarten, and then having to wait another year because my birthday is in December and school started in September, I needed to be five. I was so upset and depressed my mom started to teach me. I began to read everything and by the time I got to kindergarten I was way ahead of the class. Most of the other kids didn't learn 2nd or 3rd grade.

I think when I was in my first year of school aged 6.

At least two.

4 or 5. My reading level was slightly advanced for my age.

I started reading before the age of 2.

I used to think I was 3, but don't know, although I was young what, I think let me a srong miopy.
Are all the starting reading young miopys?

I remember reading the Family Health Guide and Medical Encyclopedia when I was in the third grade. I have always been fascinated by medical issues. Maybe that is why I find Roger Bannister so fascinating.

I was not really able to talk until about age 4.

I didn't learn to read until I was 5. People thought I could read, but I was actually just memorizing the books when they were read to me then reciting from memory!
Wish I could still do that

When I began to attend kindergarten I have leart to read. I learnt when I was 3, almost 4.

Taught myself when I was 4. I'm hyperlexic. My NT-ish daughter did the same. Could read out loud fluently by kindergarten.
