My mom read to us from Dr. Seuss and such until we could read ourselves which was well before school age. We hit a patch of low income and I started reading what my Dad read which was hard SciFi and war novels. My brother honed his reading by reading the AD&D Player's Handbook when he was pre-K. I'm pretty sure if we had the money for more age appropriate books I would have still read because I experienced the joy of it from being read to. Early positive exposure will set children on the right path.
