I really love reading! 
That's amazing, what does it take to be a reader?
Well, you need to decode symbols to be able to see the meaning, this is called reading comprehension. It's basic knowledge with complex term.
How long does it take to get proper skills to read?
It depends, for a person that catches quickly who reads often it comes automatic, effortless and is not a long process. The process of learning, however, is complex and it depends on the person, like I said.
