Hello everyone.
I am currently studying for a course on Primary Education and have a topic about the age at which it is best to read and write. I would really appreciate honest answers and hope to get many different ages.
Thanks in advance.

 

Then remove the "I still don't know how" option

 

Both learned at 4. my dad was a great tutor

 

Thanks for that. Have ammended it now.

 

See I dont want to answer that question as I am trying to prove that there is no ideal age to learn to read and write. I now realise that it may be difficult to get a really wide selection by requiring people to read to actually make their opinions heard.

 

I sincerely don't remember when. My only reference is the average age.

 

I am sorry if it sounded like I having a go at you. I didn't mean to.

 

I could read simple sentences at the age of 3. I used to look at the captions of television programs and that's how I builded upon my reading ability.
I knew how to write basic sentences like (I like dog) when I was 3. The more advanced sentences came when I was 6/7 years old.

I was heavily encouraged by my parents to read/write.

 

Learned how to read at the age of 2, learned how to write at the age of 3. I'm quite proud of myself.

 

I learned how to read by the age of 3. Not sure about writing.
