I think you're probably hitting on something that's true but often unsaid. Parents play a large role in facilitating their love for reading. You seem you're doing a great job. I assume many other parents are not.

As much as children having phones is an issue, I bet parent's having phones is an equally sized issue.

I totally agree. A lot of parents will tell their kids to read because it's good for them, but they don't do anything to actually facilitate it. And a lot of them are so hooked on phones themselves that they don't see it as a problem when their kids are hooked too.
