I remember *really* learning to read in first grade, because I was in a special reading program (with Miss Jackson, who was quite exotic in being the first African-American I'd ever known.) I was in the special program because I was already reading better than most kids my age, and I know I read some before that, sounding things out and going through Richard Scarry books and such, but I don't have strong memories of that.

Part of my problem with all early childhood stuff is that my mom started teaching nursery school when I was twelve or so, which meant that all the books and stuff that I had at that age were always around the house. So there are plenty of things that I think I would have remembered from then, but the memories have been 'refreshed', so I can't be sure.
