Can I say like this?
More 10-year-old children often read books than 15-year-old children.
(I would like to say that the number of 10-year-old children who often read books are more than the number of 15-year-old children who often read books.)

Thank you for the explanation!
And yes, you can say that, but the meaning is a little bit confusing. :)
You might instead say:
10-year-old children read books more often than 15-year-old children.

In your sentence, the number of children reading (10-year-old vs 15-year-old) is what's being compared.
In this modified sentence, the number of books that they read (10-year-olds reading more than 15-year-olds) is what's being compared.
Great job though!
