New Pretty much like Harris, can't remember when I couldn't.
Vague glimpses of sitting on the floor laboriously spel-ling thr-ough so-me mag-a-zine, der Stern or der Spiegel (German mags, although this was after we'd arrived in Sweden); must'a been around five or six years old I think.

But AFAICR, although it was somewhat lab-or-ious, I already had the confidence that I could do it by then.

After 4th grade, my family moved (again) and I was in a "normal" school and was nearly bored out of my mind. Fortunately Mr. Rohr's classroom had a rack of books up front that I read when (as always) I finished up my work early. I was the first student to score 100% on the science tests. Every science test through the entire year. (They probably should have skipped me a grade, but... nah, this was a normal school.)
