My youngest son didn't like to read two years ago.
He could read, but he didn't choose to read.
He's reading 10 books to everyone 1 book his twin sister reads. I can't get him to turn off his light at night. He reads when he gets home from school. He takes his book in the car to read on the way to gymnastics.

What did I do?
I helped him create images and try to make a movie in his head when he read. I also found him books he loved to read. His favorites in the beginning were action adventure, sports, and motorcycle riding.

What a great post! Congratulations!
Yes, finding books that match children's interests is key. It might take some trials and experimentation, but letting the interests be a guide to finding candidate books is a wonderful first step.
