Having being exposed to personal computers only in my early teens, most of my time was spent on reading (books for the most part). I feel that, at least for me, reading skills translate well to code. Even writing code didn't feel foreign to me since I had done some private writing on my own. And indeed, this article indicates the same:

So perhaps general reading/ literacy are a good adjunct skill for coding?

This becomes especially apparent once you start dealing with higher and higher level languages. So reading and understanding good literature is important in my opinion and gives an edge in many fields later on, including programming.
