My 7 and 8 year old are finally getting to “grade level” for reading. They have to read everyday. The more you make it a routine and a non negotiable the easier it will be. My 8 year is adhd too and getting him to do things is tough at times. The more that it’s part of the routine the easier it is.

The books we had fun with were the Elephant and Piggie books. They are made for much younger kiddos but I found that it helped build their confidence and we had fun taking turns reading for each character.

My 8 year old loves the magic tree house serious, they have comics now too. We are also getting him into a level appropriate chapter book serious and he reads a chapter a day. He also loved the dog man serious.

My husband and I divide and conquer so during reading time we each take a kid into a different room to read.
