Same with my girls (parents of boys seem to mostly have a different experience). Hopefully your kid gets access to digital libraries like Epic or Sora at school. There are also public libraries with ebook lending that can make the habit cheaper.
My mother taught me how to read, I'm male. Incidentally, I scored higher than my peers in reading.
I still read, but it has taken the form of social media which have no more length than a blurb.
