Games for letter recognition / pre-reading?

My daughter knows her letters and all the sounds already, and she loves books. The gap we're looking to fill is that she isn't doing the actual Montessori "work" at school, so we're looking to sort of get buy-in for the school type work at home too.

The teacher's job is to differentiate and meet the child where she is. Knowing letters and letter sounds is completely normal for this age and if she's not doing the "work" then maybe they need to vary her options?
