I disagree. We raise strong readers by reading to and around our children and letting them take over WHEN THEY ARE READY. My 18 year old son is more widely read than most adults and did not read his first book until he was 10. We never pushed him,we just read to him and modeled the joy of reading. When parents are on their phones instead of holding a book,it sends a poor message.
