Easy Way to teach child to read

United States

My son has ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder. With the ASD it's a mild case but with the ADHD too it's very difficult to get him to sit down and read. He wants to stand all the time and he wants to sound out every single letter in the word. He's really struggling even though he gets extra help at school. He was held back in kindergarten so he's a year behind the other kids his age. He is currently in second grade but only doing first grade work. I've tried everything I can think of to help him but I just don't know what to do anymore. Are there some easy ways to teach him to read at home? I've looked into hooked on phonics but I just can't afford it right now otherwise I would try that too. He's really a smart kid it's just he struggles with reading. Thank you for any help you can give me and my son.
