Properly?
Errrrr o_O

About nine.
Course within a year of that I was the best reader in the entire school.

Hmm, pretty early. I always got in trouble in first grade for reading those "Little House on the Praries" books when I was supposed to be pretending to be learning to read from those Jack and Jane books :roll:

Also I had this reading test in the 4th grade that said that, at the time, I was at the reading level of a 10th grade student. So what am I at now o.O

I started reading and counting at about age 2 thanks to my grandfather (a librarian so amazing he was knighted). Then he died =/

5 and a quarter. I started pretty late. But I started reading better than most people, so i guess it evens out.

I'm not sure. It was early though because I had to go into the year above mine for English lessons for the entire of primary school... which then meant I had to repeat my final year. My old school was stupid.

4 or 5 I think, usual-ish age at school. I had no interest in it before then, too happy drawing and playing with my cuddly toys, hee. I think it was my uncle who learned before he was 2, there are photos of him in one of those old fashioned prams reading a comic book x)

I learned around the time I turned 3. I've always been extremely proficient in reading (but not in spelling :loser:

)

Im in the same boat, Sugarinii. I was always reading books higher than "my level" and in early elementary school I was tested and told I read at a highschool level as well.

I was in 6th grade when I started to read romantic/suspense novels. : P

I LOVE to read. I can go through a good sized book in about 2 hours if no one bothers me.

I could read the majority of the Suess collection by age two.
