[quote=Anonymous]Scholastic has a great tool on their website which you can enter any book and it gives you the reading level.  I am not an employee of scholastic- my son's 1st grade tracher mentioned it.  Here is a link:
http://www.scholastic.com/tbw/quickSearch.do?Ntx=mode+matchany&Ntk=TBW_CustomBook_SI&Ne=1312&N=0+1860+1861

This search oulled up books that were "i" and "j" books. So start with "i" books to see where your daughter is.  these should be for her independent reading .  Pick more robust books that you read together.

My son really struggled this year in 1st grade and pulled it together to end the year just on the cusp of "j".

Does your school have a reading recovery program?  The philosophy is that you recognize the things that the child can do - reinforce and build confidence in those areas and move to other items with different strategies.

If you have worked with your daughter, just doing it more frequently (trying harder) is not going to enable the break through that she needs.

Given her age, I would recommend either testing for a learning disability OR a reading recovery specialist.

But if she is reading at "i" or "j" level - she is where she needs to be - just not as advanced as some of her peers.[/quote]
