I dont think that is considered particularly late here in central europe. Yes, kids should be able to read properly at 6, but a lot of them don't.

That doesn’t sound too bad considering more than half of Americans (regardless of age) reads below 6th grade level. At 8 you should still be able to overtake most grownup Americans in reading skills.

I wasn’t capable of reading completely on my own until I was nine years old. I also made top grades in all of my college English classes. Where you start doesn’t necessarily dictate where you’ll end up, especially if you enjoy an activity as much as I enjoyed reading.
