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.
GO HORACE! I have some IA on Venus, but I don't know how long it'll last. my com's getting crushed. "Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you."~Carl Jung, psychologist and psychiatrist.
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
“Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number.
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you—
Ye are many—they are few.” — Mary Shelly
