There are many educational studies on the age at which a child begins to learn to read
Islamic teachings suggest 6 years to kick start formal education level.
Reading is a process. Children can develop other supportive habilities attending school before the age of six, which will make it easier for them to acquire readingskills.

The starting of learning depending on chronological age, but for the average children a 6 years old is the starting of learning.
Of course. At six years of age, every human being will be able to start reading
Yes. Many of us even started reading earlier than age six. Its wonderful to see my son read at age three!
If 6 years is the average age in every normal child to learn to read
Some bright and outstanding children can do it from 5 years
Few can learn to read at 3 or 4 years, only some children geniuses; some of them memorized the symbols and signs but not totally their meaning.
For every normal child, 6 years is not enough to read and understand everything. 7 or more than 7 years is enough.
My son has started to read at 4 years old. So yes, 6 years old is appropriate.
It is possible to start know memorized the symbols and signs at 3 or 4 years old, but it need to developed the processus only in âge of scool and can transmet at other
I started my education from 6 years, my sons from 5 plus years.
I think that age is perfect for starting.
The nursery study etc performed from 3 years - I do not support.
Everybody should have childhood memories with parents and similar aged friends - it is my personal feeling.
As per the present system of education junior & senior kg system started for the child & after completion of KG class the child enters for primary stage which standard 1 where he learning process starts .
For every student differs from students to students it depend on family atmosphere & the development of the parents .Even though the question is not relating topics but we all have noticed or observe that certain students are born with intelligence of high magnitude & the progress can become in the line with higher education .
This of course my personal views
Definitely, my son started school when he was 6 and before that he could read a bit.
Child Growth 0-6 years. We can stimulus with simple reading as like showing alphabet and picture before six years. When six years can reading quickly
Yes, but vary according to the abilities of the child, the previous periods in the extent of development of the parents of these abilities, the skills of communication with others, hobbies exercised or shared with his family and friends
Not at all. But by reading I hope you must mean the identification of letters and decoding words and sentences. It may not always mean comprehension of what they read which increasingly comes later.
5/6-years, in general, are entitled to begin to learn to read. Brilliant children can begin to learn to read even when they are younger. There are a lot of factors that affect children´s ability to read.
Thank you very much for these wonderful scientific answers
5 years old is the most sensitive age for learning. My Dad read books to me and I learned reading at the age of 5 without teaching. I taught my sons to read, and they started reading earlier.I ran after the teachers and asked them for taking me to school, but it was forbidden in my childhood. I had wasted 2 years! Nowadays I see, that the children in their 5 are very talented, they learn to read with pleasure- surely in game.
In many instances i met 5-years old represent a good stage to start education.
Age shouldn’t be the defining factor for learning this or any other skill, so keep your individual child’s development in mind when you choose when to teach them. You might be pleasantly surprised that your kids are ready to do much more at an earlier age than you thought if you give them a chance. I think so it's now 5 years.
It depends on so many factors, as Vygotski wrote, that there is no only one answer. My wife began to read at four and I at five. Our two daughters at five. But the real question is to understand what reading means, and Paulo Freire wrote a quite interesting book about Literacy. Don't miss it! Reading is just a tool to READ.
