I'm not exactly sure the age I learned to read. I remember looking at Richard Scarry books by myself at age 3 or 4, and I think I could read them. I remember taking a test to get into kindergarten early (their cut-off was kids who turn 5 in September, and my birthday is in October). I don't think I had to read for the test, though. It was more along the lines of the tester asking me stuff like, "How many circles are there on this page?" I also remember being given a 3rd grade reading textbook in 1st grade, after I finished the assignment from the 1st grade text in no time flat.
