I learned to read at early 3. Can’t tell you if context or not because I don’t remember, what I know is that I don’t have any memories where I don’t know how to read well. I would sit on my dads lap and read the paper with him on Sundays after/during the F1 race or local races. One day my mom saw me just reading to myself out loud. Perhaps Sundays were the repetition and the 7 days the space. I can’t say this has given me any advantages in adult life. I had a gf that had terrible vision her whole youth and was basically blind until 9, so she learned to read at 9. I’d say we weren’t that far apart in “smarts”.
