"Black box" Learner fits. Ha. As an update, Reading Eggs appears to be the ticket and she is now progressing quickly. For the Record, I don't like the Bob books, and DD10 couldn't stand them (as she is much more into humor etc). But DD5 is a very earnest (sometimes rigid) child who is a lot like her dad. Her Montessori teacher handed her Bob books and now she MUST read them. Also, she can read them, which makes a big difference. She Still wants to rush through words with only glancing at them, but is progressing now. Thank you all for your suggestions and support.
