Not sure about that. My parents weren't readers, but they bought a lot of books, both adult and kid ones. And yes, I was an avid reader since I was 3 years old. But their granddaughters (my nieces) grew up in the same house, with the same books (plus newer ones I and occasionally my sister bought) and they had no interest in reading at all. Not when they were kids and not when they were adults. So a home filled with books and the presence of other readers is apparently not enough to make one a reader.
