i also have kids that have been reluctant to read at one point or another even though their HG ability suggested they were capable. The best think we did was load our IPOD with audio books from audible.com. For example, my son has listened to "James and the Giant Peach" and "charlottes web" several times. They are exact readings of the books so they are getting all the benefits of hearing a "read aloud" that would be hard for parents to constantl do. We have it on almost all the time when they are playing. After we did this a while they did start picking up more books.
