Context:
Dies stelle laut diesen beiden Probanden ebenfalls einen Zusammenhang mit der Erziehung bzw. den Erziehungspraktiken dar, wobei beispielsweise fehlendes Vorlesen laut diesen Probanden zu einer schlechteren Aussprache führt.

lack of reading
I think fehlendes Vorlesen here means lack of reading out something loud, a novel, book, etc. in front of people, where if one makes a mistake reading a certain word, this would lead to a result of worse or incorrect pronunciation, since nobody has corrected the subject's reading abilities.

lack of being read to
Turning it around might make it clearer that we are talking about parents not reading stories to their children (and not about the children themselves not reading/reading out loud).
Example sentence:
Being Read to... A Significant Aspect of Reading Readiness

: I think you'd have to rephrase this to make it flow - something like "because parents don't read aloud to their children the children don't learn to pronounce properly". Rather clumsy though - !

: Yes, with Diana, but you have the sense right - certainly that is how it might be said, though not great stylistically.
