The full conjugation table for Leer
The third person preterite is leyó (must have the accent). This is a phonetic adjustment to prevent having a diphthong in the spelling of the regular form.
It's not okay to have Leiste in the third person because as you can see from the conjugation table, Leíste is singular second person. Note the required accent on the i.
