I was ten when my parents read The Hobbit and LoTR to us (That was also when the let us watch Star Wars. They wanted us to be old enough to understand it the first time we watched it, so we could enjoy it). I then read them for myself right afterwards and read the Silm. when I was eleven. I didn't understand all of the Silmarillion fully the first time I read it but understood and loved the others from the first.
