At what age did you learn to read?

I learned to read when I was three also. My mom was a really good teacher. I'm afraid I didn't get that trait though. My daughter is three and I can't even teach the alphabet right. We'll eventually get it all down.

Hi marguicha...Good for you!! I really don't remember when I learned to read. I guess it would be around 5 or 6 because I was 5 when I started school. When I learned to read it opened a whole new world for me. I could read about and go any place I wanted to at any time in history and just get lost in the book. I still read and get lost in the books so much sometimes it is as if time has stood still and I am the character in the book and I am doing all the things they are doing. I have gotten so upset sometimes when I am into a good book and then it comes to an end and I say.."You can't end now, wheres the rest of it"...lol I love to read and I have instilled into my children to read. My girls read all the time, my son only sometimes. flutterby

I learned to read at the age of four. But my schooling started at the age of five. Pre-schooling practice was only done at home by parents. Thanks for this nice posting and have a good day!

Hi my dear friend I treasure the memories of learning to read when I was a young child. I was about four years and I loved to read easy books to begin with. As the years went past I was happy to read more challenging books. I read slowly when I was four years old using a mixture of phonic cues and knowledge of the look and say method. I gained fluency by the age of eight years old. My favorite books when I was a young child were about dolls and animals. I teach young children how to read these days and share the same excitement when their reading skills take off. Reading is such a wonderful skill to have and it is one of the most special things all children learn. Hug.

I learned reading at home, and my mother was my first teacher. I was 5 years old when i learned to read sentences so slowly.
