The cool thing is that you can read content that you are interested in. Even hacker news comment threads.
- yboris 7y agoAs far as I remember, and as my parents tell me, I was able to read at the age of 3. I'm from Russia, and the language is easier to read one-letter-at-a-time when compared to English, but I still feel like it's possible (with enough time investment from parents) for a child to start reading by the age of 4. I strongly suspect that learning to read at an earlier age is beneficial for a child. And it's not too early to start at the age of 3.
- c22 7y agoI know a 3-year-old that reads English. If your kid shows an interest in reading all you have to do is provide some resources and they will learn. Don't try to force it on a kid who's not (yet) interested though. Different kids will work on things in different orders--I've also known many 3-year-olds who couldn't read but they all excelled at something else.
