In the United States, reading was never specifically outlawed.
In colonial times, reading was encouraged, primarily for religious purposes. Many slave owners saw conversion to Christianity as a spiritual obligation and the ability to read scripture was seen as an important part of this process.
Education started to be prohibited in 1740. It became illegal to teach slaves to write. Reading was still permitted. (I know that sounds silly, but true.)
After the 1831 revolt in Virginia, many states responded with measures designed to curb education in an effort to limit the spread of abolitionist materials. For instance, Alabama had a law in 1832 that fined anyone who undertook a slave's education $250-500. Even in this height of anti-education laws, the laws prohibited teaching, not learning.
