I think that you really have to define both your terms and your time periods. I suspect that a lot more kids have been reading more over the past 20 or 30 years, but there are a lot of youth books that date back 100 years. Like most here, I was an avid reader, but certainly the various libraries around when I was growing up were stocked well enough for me to know that I wasn't the only avid reader around during that time.
