> I started to read when I was 2 1/2. I wrote a five-page story--outside of school--when I was 7 or 8. Last year, I got 800 on the verbal section of the SAT. (I missed a couple of questions, actually, but those apparently didn't count...) You can probably tell that I am of the same opinion as most of the others here: The sooner a child starts to learn, the better.

I don't remember when I started to read, I just remember always getting marks taken off my reading assignments because I picked books that were "too easy" for me and "just fine" for everyone else in the class. =)
