My parents tell me they discovered I could read when my dad was sick, and I read him Hop on Pop. I was about 2.5. I have no memory of this, and don't know how long I'd beenn reading at that point. My mom probably taught me the alphabet song, I watched PBS -- Captain Kangaroo, Sesame Street, Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, and I had plenty of books and alphabet toys (blocks, magnets, chalkboard with the alphabet printed along the top, etc.) I'm at least a fourth generation bookworm, so I'm sure both my parents and my grandparents read to me, maybe my great-grandmother, too. But no formal reading education that I know of.
In first grade, the teachers didn't know what to do with me. So they put me in second grade.
