Spanish term or phrase: lectura libre
El proyecto Lectura para Estudiantes entregó mochilas viajeras y literatura a los centros educativos y en coordinación con el Departamento de Educación llevó a cabo un proceso de capacitación, también estableció en los centros escolares rincones de lectura utilizados como recursos didácticos durante la clase o para lecturas libres por parte de estudiantes.

Por el contexto, me parece como que si es una actividad que se realiza fuera de horas de clase.

Alguna sugerencia.

free reading
Explanation:
When children have finished reading the books in their reading scheme they are allowed to read what they want from the reading corner.


What can your child read now they’re a free reader?
Just as the definition of a free reader varies, there are no set rules about what children can and should read once they reach this stage. They’re likely to be reading longer, more complex chapter books, but these could vary from Rainbow Magic to Harry Potter.

The National Curriculum does state that Key Stage 2 children need to read from a variety of texts and genres, including fiction, poetry, plays, non-fiction and reference books. Some of these will be tackled in class, but the selection of free reading books that they can choose from should reflect the breadth of material they’re expected to be tackling.

leisure reading/ leisure time reding


Explanation:
I'm fairly positive that the term implies an activity where students read by their own free will without teacher's indications during their free time outside school (or perhaps during recess)
I hope it helps.

extracurricular reading


Explanation:
Primary school extracurricular reading books: fairy tales

Neverthless, an additional analysis for which extracurricular reading behavior was self-reported by the students revealed comparable results.

The Reading Agency’s Chatterbooks is an extracurricular reading initiative that aims to increase a child’s motivation to read.

agree  Timothy Juillerat: Extracirricular or leisure reading stands in opposition to school directed reading and can take place anywhere.
