For me it was quite the opposite, I had a teacher from first grade who actively encouraged reading, and since I was able to read well enough before starting school, she happily kept supplying me with new titles to delve into. And I will be forever grateful for it. Reading books has given me so much over the 40 years since those first forrays into literature.
