At What Age Did You Begin Reading?

I started to read when I was three years of age, and I think my first book was 'My little puppy' or something along those lines, and then it was Dr. Seuss.

Woo! (and two)

I started reading at the tender age of 5. My mom taught me all the sounds and about 200 basic words. I figured it out from there. I'm proud to say I taught myself to read with comic books.

dunno... three I think... Not sure.


The first book I ever read was The Possessed by Dostoevsky... just kidding. I've no idea what I read first, that was just the last book I've read.

I can't really remeber when i started reading a book. But i think it was around the age of Three. That is also the most votes.

I was reading poems about swinging up on a swing since I was three, but my first book...I'll have to look that one up...I think it was The Island and the Ring, though.

My mom would always read to me at night and slowly I picked it up too. I think I was like three or four...it was before kindergarten, that much I know.

I have no idea XD I asked my Dad and he doesn't know either.

eight for me i was a late starter

I started when I was 4...I wouldn't even play with toys, it was always BOOKS.

i started at age three and i read see spot run(i think that's the typical learning book >_<)

Four, and my first was Ten Men, one of the Bob's Books series. I knew The Very Hungry Caterpillar by heart before that, and would "read" it to anyone who let me, but it wasn't really reading. My mom says that once I read Ten Men I just took off, and in a couple weeks had learned to read. It was only decoding, though - I couldn't really absorb the information. I read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, for instance, but I couldn't understand it until my parents went back and read it aloud to me. I'm not sure when I started understanding what I read, but I think I was around five or six.

I started reading when I was four. My dad taught me and my teacher.

I don't remember my first book.
But one of my favorites was Juan Chorlito y el indio invisible by Janosch .
It is in Spanish because is my native language (yeah, I am from mexico).
But I translate it: Juan the Scatterbrained and the Invisible Indian .
