Can you trick her into it? (I mean reading.) my ds was lazy about reading at that age, but spelling. I would try here and there, but kept just reading to him. Then, one day, I was reading National Geographic for little kids, it was a question; then while waiting for ds to answer with his ideas, he read the answer.
Since then (he is my first) in looking at emerging reading info from school (which didn't apply to him) included seeing if child can recognize words in book you're reading. My ds wouldn't have done this, but I think he was afraid (unwarranted) that if he read, I would stop reading to him. I think sometimes kids also don't want to perform.
Keep us posted!
