The -w notation is the same as

-a always,exit -F path=XXX -F perms=rwa

What this does is audit the following functions defined in the syscall 
classifiers
:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/asm-generic/audit_read.h
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/asm-generic/audit_write.h
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/asm-generic/audit_change_attr.h

You are not going to get a hit for each and every read system call because 
read is not audited.
