I wonder what other choices does your DS7 usually have that he chooses over reading? I wonder if his choices were more limited, if he would choose reading books that were about topics he likes rather than other things. If he chooses to go outside and play instead, maybe he just needs to move around a lot. What other choices does he have at school?
Does your DS's father read for fun, or even the newspaper? I do not remember where I heard this information to check if it is well-researched or not, but I remember being told by someone (who I thought had authority on the subject) that boys will read much more often if they see their father reading. That could also work with grandfather or uncle or big brother, etc. Just food for thought.
