There was a study saying that reading books to children has no impact in their future life but the simple fact that children grew up in a place with (many) books did in a positive way; children with access to bookshelves eventually became more successful in their life. Children usually find a way to read books, if they have any around. I will try to find the study.
I can imagine that it's not only the acces to books, but also the behaviour and habits of the parents that the child grows up with; If the child is used to seeing it's parents read, it'll try to imitate them (as with many other things) and naturally create a habit of reading books, instead of scrolling on insta.
At least that's what I'd assume would happen, seems rational to me, though.
