Absolutely some parents don't encourage reading. Back when I was working in a public library, I remember one of the library assistants saying the teacher wanted her daughter to read at home, and "I hate reading, I'm not going to get her to read." Interesting career choice there, I thought.
Me, I read voraciously from the age of three. My parents approved except when I did things like walk into lamp posts with my head buried in a book.
