lack of reading

Explanation:
I think fehlendes Vorlesen here means lack of reading out something loud, a novel, book, etc. in front of people, where if one makes a mistake reading a certain word, this would lead to a result of worse or incorrect pronunciation, since nobody has corrected the subject's reading abilities.

lack of being read to

Explanation:
Turning it around might make it clearer that we are talking about parents not reading stories to their children (and not about the children themselves not reading/reading out loud).
