> So is this paper saying that if my daughter had done activities instead of read (like play video games or run around outside) she'd be just as good a reader?

I can only imagine that the paper says that in aggregate kids get as much out of play as they get out of enrichment.

Though I’d also say that if your daughter likes reading, that’s pretty much play/leisure to her, not enrichment (or both).

Good point on reading may not be enrichment for her, thanks.
