My child is 6. I have them do 10-20 min of guided reading daily, meaning I sit with them and help where needed. They read mostly on their own though. I started because school was basically not teaching anything and giving half assed explanations why not.

How much do you do? Wondering if I'm an asshole parent ๐Ÿ˜…

Good to hear. My son loves books when I read. I read to him for about 20-40 min/day and he's often begging for more. It's just that reading is an active effort at his age, so theres a natural resistance to reading on his own. I'm trying to find the fun/learning balance.
