If it's just one or two words she has trouble with, my first guess is that she never quite figured out how to pronounce the word while reading it, although she knows what it means. My 7 year old DS does the same thing, in fact I think he also had trouble with "purchase". It was almost like he had read the word to himself but never said it out loud before so he sounded it out.
