I started off reading books when I was young, and now I still read books, albeit not as much as when I was young, however, I still like to read the newspaper (LA Times) and when I chat with certain friends on instant messaging programs, I try to supplement big words for the more common words as to get used to them, that may help. Try to integrate “big” words into your everyday vocabulary as well.

EDIT: Oh and you should enjoy reading, don’t force yourself to read stuff you do not like.
Take me for example, in Sophomore and Junior year I always put in a bit of humour into my essays, my teacher didn’t really think I would pass the AP Comp test because he didn’t really see that I was enjoying writing, suffice to say, he was wrong.
