That's what I have heard. DD was 4-ish. We just went to the library and got a big stack of books that she's reading now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-age-when-kids-start-reading-in-their-rooms-by-themselves#post-2317444 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 09:46:53 +0000 Pancakes 2317444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My girl is an early reader at 4.5. It's really really awesome. I hope that DD2 is an early reader, too. DH and I are big readers so it's fun to share this with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-age-when-kids-start-reading-in-their-rooms-by-themselves#post-2317443 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 09:46:30 +0000 Mamaof2 2317443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS just started doing this and he just turned 7 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-age-when-kids-start-reading-in-their-rooms-by-themselves#post-2317440 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 09:42:42 +0000 T-Mom 2317440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD was 6. I was so excited for her to know what it feels like to get lost in a book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-age-when-kids-start-reading-in-their-rooms-by-themselves#post-2317419 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 09:30:14 +0000 mrbee 2317419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had some of my son's friends over for a dinner playdate last weekend, and one of the kids kept taking books into his bedroom and reading them quietly by herself. When she was done she would come out, get a new book, and go back to the bedroom to read some more.</p> <p>I was so impressed! She is 6... my son is still 5, but turns six later this year and isn't in the habit of reading alone yet. When does this magical time start? </p>
