Morphology
The meaning 'a place for reading' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'reading' (the act of reading) with 'spot' (a particular location). This noun–noun/gerund+noun compositional pattern is common across languages and in English, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Reading spot comes from the simple image of a small reading spot, a quiet chair, a sunny bench, or a comfortable corner where you sit to read. People picked these places as their 'reading spot', so the phrase means 'a place chosen for reading'.
