You can build up literacy like a muscle. I can read a lot if I forget to take my ADHD worsener (valproic acid), but even with that I can sometimes "rawdog" it.
This, I used to read a lot, even with my ADHD.
But for some reason I stopped, and now I struggle to focus reading.

I had to search it to understand the post. Well, that's a weird name to describe a normal book for children.
you guys do realise the poster is making a joke I hope, no need to actually get upset about this
On one hand, yes, on the other... We had a student in our lab that started reading the Game of Thrones books because we were big fans. I think it was 2012. He had never read a book. Sure, magazines and stuff but never an entire book. He did go on to do a PhD.
I listen to audio books more often than reading an actual book.
When I used to have a 60 minute commute to work (train to a short walk to a metro to another short walk) I would down audio books like a fiend on the train. I have a neurodevelopmental disorder that makes it difficult to maintain concentration and when the narrator does distinct voices or music for different characters/scenes/etc. it's easier for me to follow than books.
