In my experience, children who become avid readers gain speed and steadily increase the time they dedicate to books voluntarily. When comparing them to children who dedicate more time to TV, computers, or phone programs, their ability to settle and focus is much shorter. Both groups started in the same place, but avid readers realize how potent good books can be and find an alternative 'program' that helps to expand their focus.
This can also be applied to adults. We are so used to constantly moving and being bombarded by technology, that we find it hard to sit in one place and focus on one thing. Reading is a stationary activity that happens entirely within you. The better your focus, the faster your reading speed, in my opinion.
