I always read children stories and comics ever since I learned how to, but I distinctly remember the first actual novel I read and finished was at 3rd grade! What about you?

I've always loved to read from the time I learned how to. As soon as I started getting an allowance I started buying the Famous Five books and I used to get taken to the library every month from around age 8 or 9. After that, around age 15, I read The Hobbit and LOTR, and the rest is history!
I first started reading when I was a young child and have always loved reading books.
I used to struggle with comprehension as a kid but once I got over it, I remember reading on and off again throughout my childhood. I have memories of my 2nd grade teacher reading to us Goosebumps books and I read Nancy Drew, Magic Tree house,etc. I’m embarrassed to say but Twilight was one of the biggest series I picked up when I was in 5th/6th grade and I talked about it with the librarian at my school 😂
Well, I used to read short stories since I was 5 and I read around the world in 80 days when I was six. I'm a middle school student now, and I'm really obsessed with reading
When I really started to get into reading was when I was 11 reading the Percy Jackson series
I’m going to say I probably started reading around 5 or 6. I remember reading a book about a fire truck over and over again.
I started reading around 1 or 2nd grade and then I forgot about it! But I picked it back up around a year ago! And now I’m a middle school student who is obsessed with books!
I've been reading for as long as I can remember. I started out with those Disney picture books, moved on to Barbie books, and then chapter books like Nancy Drew. After that, it was around 12 or 13 is when I started branching out in my reading and as they say the rest is history.
Quite late for me...when I was in my twenties...got into reading true crime books...then horror 🙂
probably like 6 years old is when i consistently started picking up books
I started reading since I was six years old. But my love for reading started when I was in 12.
I've always love to read until middle school i was only allowed to read in my own language and the teachers took my books if they were in English but i hated that because the books were translated from English so there were alot of spellings mistakes so I stopped reading and hated it i only read diary of a wimp and didn't read anything else until last year when I discovered booktok and my parents bought the book (they both die at the end) in the English version and thats how my book addiction started and im currently 17 :)
I struggled a lot with reading growing up so it wasn't until I was 16 that I fell in love with reading.
In 1961 when I was 6 years old. Ever since the only dull moments I experienced were on parties or family get togethers.I'm the happiest when I can read.
Unfortunately my intellectual parents didn't want me to read the Famous Five series by Enid Blyton, even if I wrote 5 Famous Five titles on my birthday or Christmas wish list, I got only one of her books. That's why I was still busy in 1985 to collect her old German translations with the original illustrations by Eileen Soper (which the stupid German publisher Bertelsmann replaced in the early 1970's by modern, but rather ugly new illustrations).
Ever since I could look at letters and see a word, which was at 4 I think. I’ve always read and written stories, though now I only write silly little fanfics lol.
when I was really little I have always loved to read & always will ❤️
I've had books in my life for as long as I can remember. Love it!
when I was young, i used to 'look' at the pictures in books, slowly i started reading the words and then when i was 12 i started reading more seriously.
i’m only a teen but i started to get really into reading in 2021, but my dad read to me all through my child! he used to read me the boxcar children books every night before bed 🫶🏼
My parents used to read at me when I was just a baby. I started reading by myself since I was around 6 years old, I read literally anything I could get my hands on
Around 4 or 5 years old. I spent my summers in the library growing up and developed a deep love for books and the peace of the library. So much that I wanted to be a librarian when I was little
I always had people read to me when I was a kid, but I didn't start reading books on my own until the summer between kindergarten and first grade. My kindergarten teacher got me hooked on the Junie B. Jones series and I was so determined to read the rest of the series by myself that I learned how to read really well during that summer
i started reading serious books last year
The first ever novel I read was the hate you give if I remember correctly, I think I was in high school atm
I started reading books at 11 and discovered Wattpad at 12. 🫠 I continued to read a lot and finally discovered booktok in 2020 and since then I haven't stopped reading.
when I was a very little kid lol. I started Little House on the Prairie and Anne of Green Gables when I was probably 6
I preferred the very adventurous books by Enid Blyton like the Famous Five series, the Adventure series, the R series etc.Of course I tried Nancy Drew, Anne of Green Gables, Little House on the Prairie (I love the TV series!), Little Women, NIls Holgersson and dozens of others, but compared with Enid Blyton they were rather tame and not nearly as compelling.
In 2000 I tried to read the first Harry Potter book, but I guess once you've read Blyton, Potter is just not up to par. :)
I started a little late - At the age of 16
when I was 4! my parents tried to get me somewhat prepped for Kindergarten and I've been picking up books ever since (even before I could read the words I'd make up a story based on the pictures haha!!)
at a very young age. I remember in 3rd grade I was reading at a 6th grade reading level. I always had my nose in a book.
Books were so much more interesting than my life. So I always loved to read adventure books.
I started reading comics - Uncle Scrooge and Mickey Mouse are some of them.I started reading seriously when I was 20 years old. Philosophy was not my preferred genre at college. But then, with time, I endured my readings for that.
My mother tells me in the womb. my aunts and uncles remember her sitting with a book under one thigh while she read to me. I guessed I was about the maybe? My parents stuck words on everything, so I knew what it was and what the word said.
I had this classmate in High School who always had a book with her. She taught me how to get a library card and I've been a reader ever since! I was 15.
We spent EVERY school break with my grandparents we I was growing up. They lived so fat out in the country sunlight had to be shipped in. I was never an outdoors kind-of girl. My grandparents didn't have a great or even a decent television, so reading it was. I would bring several age appropriate books then when I had exhausted my stash of books I would move on to reading the books my much older family members left behind. So I ended up reading books like All the President's Men,Farewell to Arms and other while in elementary and middle school. One of the keys to me successful accomplishing this was the fact that my grandparents owned a really good dictionary and the words I didn't know I looked up as I read. I still do that now.
