I started reading around five I THINK. It might have been six. I was slow to learn, but once I did! xD My mother never saw me again... I was always gone, in the corner, reading whatever I could find. lol

Of course we all jere are so smart and most of us began to read at the age of three right? Well when I was three I learned to read in Polish and then at the age of six I learned how to read in Englis.. So ha I am biliterarive whixh means I read two different languages!

My parents always read to me (I don't mean little kids books, I mean chapter books, probably what you'd expect 8-10 year-olds to read) when I was little so it is kind of hard to remember when I started to read. Me and my sisters where all late reading (yay homeschooling). I probably first started at like 5, but I didn't really get into learning to read until like 7 or 8. I couldn't read on my own until I was 9. I was very resistant to learning to read. My parents weren't worried because they knew I loved stories and eventually I would be self-motivated enough to learn.
When I was learning to read we used this series called Bob Books which was designed for learning to read. I loved Bob Books, but I can't remember who they are by. Once I could actually read I didn't spend any time in little books with very few pages like you expect from new readers, I just jumped into small chapter books. That was probably due to the fact that I didn't read until so late (well, late compared to all the other kids I knew, I don't know when people normally start reading). The first book I read on my own was a Magic Kitten book (by Sue Bentley), I'm not entirely sure which one, it could have been Circus Wish or A Summer Spell. I can't remember.
I started reading at four. I was Homeschooled, and my mom was teaching me how to, and halfway through it I just picked up this advanced book and read it all the way through and my mom said that she had done her job, LOL.

Six, I hated reading and was behind everyone, all these boring ultra happy picture books annoyed me. But then they took me to a special class and I met this lady who showed me chapter books and novels, and I suddenly wanted to read. As suddenly I saw stories almost as interesting as the ones in my head.

Jk, it's not that exciting. I didn't learn how to write or read in English until I was around 8, but I started reading Welsh when I was like 3-4 in nursery. The earliest book I remember reading is the Welsh translation of We're Going on a Bear Hunt. Such an epic story, goddamnit.
I started reading in Kindergarten, when I realized that words were not just these random lines that come together, but that they were easily deciphered. The first book I read on my own was... Either Mouse Soup or The Cat in the Hat, but I do not really remember which I read first....
