Relax. She is still young and learning to read is very developmental. A friend has a gifted daughter (college age now) who didn't read till the beginning of 2nd grade. And at that time she just took off and quickly became one of the top readers in the class. I think it's still a bit young to worry about this too much even for a HG kid unless you are seeing very specific deficits.
My biggest worry would be that she is embarrassed about it. My guess is that if everyone relaxes about the situation it will work out in the end.
Keep in mind that in the US we have been pushing down the age at which we expect kids to read. When I was in school reading wasn't even taught till 1st grade and kids went to K not knowing their letters or numbers. Reading early doesn't necessarily make better readers.
