Like Apache, I do not remember a time I was not reading.
My first intense reading experience was around 5th grade. The school had a system of stories with quiz questions, all written on large cards (if I recall correctly). They were color coded for difficulty (grade level). For reasons unknown I was on a mission. I ate them like popcorn and had anxiety until I ripped through them all. By sixth grade I tested at a twelfth grade reading level.
I do feel my speed at 'reading with comprehension' was like a secret weapon all through school and a life-long advantage.
