And why can everyone in my children's private school read by the age of six?
-
Because most of those children have the cultural capital in place to enable reading before they even get there.

You mean their parents aren't too lazy to read to them?
-
Hmm maybe maybe not as lazy as lazy thinking on the issue however.

What would you call people who never read to their kids?

Poor in so many respects all the evidence points to that. More money = more choice, richer lifestyle, variety.

I don't believe any UK parent doesn't know that reading to their child is a good thing.
