9 to 10 year olds learn romaji as part of the 4th grade curriculum. Children who are under 9 or 10 are far less likely to be able to read it. Anyone above that are is pretty much guaranteed to be able to read it.

I guess I misread that Japanese kids would be likely to be able to read romaji before hiragana, and I knew that couldn't be right.
