Generally, no. Very few did and books were hard to come by. The printing press wasn't invented until 1448 so books were not something people to go out and buy. The church told The Bible through stories, plays, and the stain glass windows in the church walls. In court cases people verbally told the judge what was the problem ( that is why we have testimony in cases today), and stories like Robin Hood were oral poems so people could remember the tale and retell it over and over. Some nobility could read and the priests did read as well as wrote or copied books.

In the Byzantine Empire, there was a system of primary education, but its purpose was to see that all soldiers were literate. I do not know when peoples started into it. We do not have a lot of information on the education of children, but it is a matter of record that Matilda of Scotland, who was born in 1080 and was the daughter of King Malcolm III and St. Margaret, started her education in an abbey school at the age of six. We also know that Hildegard of Bingen was probably sent to a convent, where she was formally educated, at the age of eight. There are links below.
