At about 6 my older dd started what I call her self help reading, the first book that caught her attention was "the big book of girl stuff" by Bart King she walked out of the book store reading it almost bumping into things because she wouldn't look up from the book, lol next was an American girl book "the care and keeping of you" and many more very similar types of books... it's her favorite type of reading even now. She had to read Little house on the prairie for a school report last year (so she was 7) but hated it was just not her type of book.
The younger one who is now 6 likes "the puppy place"books "Perfectly Princess books" these really got her started on reading chapter books, and she also loves the Disney Fairy books, Bindi's Adventures, Roscoe Riley,and I can't forget about "inside the human body" she has read that about 10 times..it has plastic model of what the inside of the body looks like with a bunch of facts on each page...she loves these kinds of books.
