Well, here's something I did for 32 bit words that you could probably adapt


// this macro reads a 32 bit long constant from program memory (lower 64k only)
static inline UINT32 PGM_LDL( UINT32  * address )
{
  UINT32 result;
  asm volatile( "lpm %A0,Z+" "\n\t"
                "lpm %B0,Z+" "\n\t"
                "lpm %C0,Z+" "\n\t"
                "lpm %D0,Z+" "\n\t"
                : "=r" (result) 
                : "z" (address) );
  return result;
}
