The two phrases pretty much mean the same thing; however, you might use different ones in different contexts:

Billy Bob was reading words to his class.

or

That is a word-reading machine.

I would refrain from using the latter phrase (word reading), if at all possible, though; it doesn't even really fit into the second sentence.

Words are identified through forms, functions and grammatical environment.

Looking critically at the two phrases;

1. Reading words is an Noun Phrase. "Reading" is a participle (a progressive). And all participles perform the function of an adjective when it pre-modifies a noun.

For example;

i. The walking chair.

ii. The baked bread.

iii. A fried fish.

Also, word is a noun. Hence, making it an NP. Now, the phrase "reading words has a meaning regardless of not finding itself in a grammatical environment.

Two meanings are involved in the phrase "reading words" and that the words has been personified in the sense that one could say

i. the words that usually reads

Or

ii. A readable words

2. "word reading" is also seen as an NP. That is a noun and non-finite verb qualifying or post modifying the noun. Since in the noun phrase structure non-finite verbs or clause are allowed for its modification, it is considered as an NP.

Now regarding the word reading one could infer that word reading is a process of reading out words either in a competition or word games.

Therefore, the differences are as follows according to its forms without its grammatical environment

1. reading words

= participle(Adj) + noun
Hence, an NP

2. word reading

= noun + non-finite verb......ing participle
