Our ds was like this - I am not sure if his non-motivation to learn to read was due to his LDs (DCD, dysgraphia, expressive learning disorder), or if it was simply because he loved the attention and close time with a parent while reading aloud. We also read (ok, I read) larger, longer, more complicated books to him when I was reading than he was capable of reading to himself, so he loved being read to for the mental stimulation - up until he suddenly (almost overnight) turned into a voracious reader who has never looked back.
We had to reassure DS that, when he learned to read, we would still read books aloud to him if he wanted us to (we still do). I think he was afraid that we'd simply stop, and I think that's a pretty common fear, actually.
