Reading question?

Ds is just starting lesson 4 of The Reading Lesson and it seems like every day since the beginning of lesson 3 he complains about doing it. We only do one maybe two pages a day he can do it and does fairly well when he does but getting him to do it is like pulling teeth. For example, this morning it went like this,
Me:"okay R its time to do reading"
R: I'm tiiiiiiiired.
Me: We need to do your reading early so you can go play.
R: I caaannt, I'm tiiiiiiired.
Me: Okay then you can nap on the sofa until your ready.
After which he laid on the sofa and wiggled for a while, then tried to get up. I sent him back and this took about 45min before he said he was ready to do reading. Even when he says he is ready he doesn't start right away he wiggles and whines a little more. This has been happening everyday for like a month and it is getting old. Help please. He was so excited in the beginning and now I don't know what to do.
