I don’t find reading books appealing. But I do look up things I am curious about and read few news articles I come across. Reading a book isn’t the only way to gain knowledge but if they aren’t reading/learning about anything then that’s a problem.
Reading narratives to escape into the fictional world and skimming articles for information are both literacy (reading). There are many more kinds as well. They all count.
The aversion to reading is always a red flag for me. Reading is a pillar of human intelligence.
They’d be mad if they could understand anything that wasn’t Facebook memes and bad email chains.

Super convenient, and I can obscure the length of books that is otherwise intimidating.
