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.
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.
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.
Give me time, i'll crit your work XD I promise.

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.

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 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 .
I used to hate reading, but when I moved and had nobody to talk to I started reading more. plus the harry potter series is really good and got me started
I was weeping as much for him as her; we do sometimes pity creatures that have none of the feeling either for themselves or others. — Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights
