We had the same experience at that age with How to Teach... 100 easy lessons. DS was diagnosed with dyslexia at 7. One tricky thing about blending is that there are some sounds that are hard to say on their own, including r and p, so if you're not careful,  rip becomes ruh ii puh .  If working a bit more on blending doesn't clear up the problem,  it would be worth seeing if the school would screen her and getting her a tutor who specializes in a method known to work for kids with dyslexia  (Orton Gillingham and related programs like Wilson and Barton).
