Could, my two sons have very different reading habits and they both have the exact same examples of reading from Daryl and myself. We both read for pleasure almost every night. We have shelves and shelves of fiction books at home suitable for the kids as well as for us (although we don't generally recommend Stephen King for the kids).

Our youngest boy can get so absorbed in a book it's to the exclusion of everything else. Aden would much prefer to talk on the phone or play computer games which we don't necessarily like, but it's his thing. Sometimes he likes to read and sometimes he doesn't. I don't think he'd care if he never read another book in his life, but I know Mav would.

Kids like every other person are different, and once they're old enough to choose what they do for pleasure, some of them are readers, and others aren't. Acknowledging that difference as a parent is fine too. I don't think it shows that you're not supportive of your child at all. It just shows that you know your child.
