Try as I will, I can’t even remember how I learned to read.

I realized I could read from watching a commercial.
Do you remember the old Gulf gas commercials and the logo?

Once I made the connection from the ending script that the letters spelled a word I was off to the races.
It's still a vivid memory for me from childhood.

I simply can’t remember. I do know I wanted to be able to read what was in all those books, so I had incentive.
