Did you try the NUK sippy cup with the nipple that's really soft like a bottle? That worked for us before we got him to drink from a harder spout. Also, we had a spill proof Playtex sippy cup. We took the spill proof piece out and that made it easier for him to drink. Hope that helps.
There are a ton of posts exactly like this that might have good info for you.

I agree with PP, we have tried a lot of sippy cups and DS only seems to like the NUK. Also, like PP said, our pedi recommended when we were first trying the sippy cup to remove the "leak proof" piece. My LO didn't know he had to suck on it like a bottle at first so he couldn't get anything out of it. After he figured it out by it being easier to pour out after removing that piece, he drinks form it like a champ. We know have the leak proof part back in. It will be a mess for a little while but LO should catch on. GL!
