I got pokemon red in Second Grade. By that point I could recite all 151 pokemon By heart and spell all of their names and types correctly. (If I remember correctly i turned 6 in Kindergarden, 7 in 1st, and 8 in second and I got pokemon red for my 8th birthday) I also passed 2nd grade with flying colors so obviously having a hobby of pokemon didn't interfere with my school work.
I'm sorry but our education system is failing if second graders can't even spell Pokemon's names correctly.
just putting it out there that i taught myself to read before kindergarten and was reading chapter books years in advance of the average age
i was reading and writing on a college level back in middle school
not joking
My brother is 7 and is fine with all the spellings and stuff.
And i was fine with it when i was 7 and stuff.
And i'm doing fine.

Oh hey this is me. Except I hated writing because I'd get major writers block all the time that didn't disappear until my junior year in high school.
There wasn't much to do at my house as a little kid so I'd read my mom's thriller type of murder mystery books. Of course I never understood what was going on but it caused me to have a larger vocabulary then most kids in my grade (Mainly because I'd go up to my mom and asked what a word meant. I could pronounce them all just fine for the most part too.)

quite good actually, thanks for asking
video games taught me to read english as a baby, anime taught me to speak japanese as a man-baby
I got Pokemon Red when I was four, (and pokemon stadium when I was five) so I learned how to read that way
I wish my little sister had not put Pokemon Red on top of a lamp without me noticing and then let it melt ):
