I had a friend tell me that she didn't learn to read until she was like eight. Ya never really know where people come from. All of our lives are so different.
That doesn't sound too bad considering almost 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.
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.
