At what age did you learn how to fully read and write?

Still learning as everyone should be. Language is something that you should continue to build upon. You should always be reading and expanding your vocabulary as well as your knowledge of the world. As far as basic communication skills, they can be learned as early as 4 years old. On average I think it's 5 and a half though.

I was four when I started reading on my own. I don't recall when I started writing stories, etc, but I could print all of the alphabet and sound out most of the single or double syllable words before I got into grade one. My great granddaughter who is eight years old has been reading since she was three, but I know that she hadn't learned to write at the age of five. She is now reading at a high school level and writing stories at a grade six level. Reading is so great. I feel bad for people who don't like to read. They're missing out on so much.

I was reading at 4, I remember the book, it was "The Big Red Hen"
and I think about 5 with writing, I know I was writing cursive by 5 and 6
I remember the nuns hitting me with a ruler when I got it wrong :P

long before that kindergarten stuff.
