At what point did you become aware of the sounds associated with letters and digraphs, such as how to pronounce the word ghoti?

That's cracked. I learned to read by seeing Dick and Jane run and I, to this moment, could never look at ghoti and read fish. LOL

The ghoti example is famous enough to have its own Wikipedia page. It's been traced back to 1855. I learned it from my fourth grade teacher a hell of a long time ago.
