We're going through the same kind of thing with our 5 year old. He loves being read to, but he's got very little interest in trying to read (which is understandable - he doesn't know how to, yet).
He's starting to get more and more into it. He knows how to spell his name and, when he sits down to do it, can write it (in better penmanship than I can muster anymore). He knows his letters for the most part. It's been a slow process, through. We have flashcards, some fun workbooks, a crap-ton of magnetic letters on the fridge spelling out all kinds of things, and he has a couple electronic toy things that do alphabet and number stuff. More often than not, though, he just wants to play. And, most attempts to try to mix play and learning end up crashing.
But, it's best that we (parental units) keep from getting frustrated with it ourselves. It'll come in due time.
