Er, if you can't read before you get to kindergarten your parents are fucking up.
Either that or they're recognizing and embracing the uniqueness of your passion to not read.

(In Germany it would probably not be a good idea to teach your kids how to read before they go to enter school (at age 6 or 7). Schooling is mandatory in Germany, and elementary school is boring enough if you don't already know the stuff they are trying to teach you. If you have more choice for your kids, then reading earlier may or may not be a good idea.)
FWIW, I could read when I started school (at 6, in Austria [1]), as well as do simple maths; I was bored pretty much throughout my education, but at least I did well. Bored & lagging behind surely must be worse.
[1] homeschooling is permitted here but it's extremely rare as far as I know.
For 90% of the population I agree.
