I'm afraid not. Unlike the US's fair use law, which provides a set of four criteria by which a particular usage can be judged, the UK's fair dealing law provides three and only three circumstances under which a copyrighted work can be reproduced. These are:
- Academic research or study,
- Criticism or review,
- The reporting of current events
"Reading books out loud to children" doesn't fit into any of these categories.
