I remember learning how to read (from a how-to-read book, probably around age five), but I don't remember not knowing how to read.

Do people who remember not knowing how to read remember what text that they couldn't read looked like to them?

It was first strings of shapes that Mom turned into words somehow. Then it was the alphabet. Then it coalesced into phonemes, then words all of a sudden. And I agree with Donnad that Dick, Jane and Spot were awful bores.

I'm trying to imagine what a how-to-read book would look like. Wouldn't learning to read from a book require some level of reading ability?

It had rhyming words next to pictures. "This is a cat." "This is a bat." I'm not sure how I managed the non-nouns, but my mother's confirmed that I learned reading on my own.
