If your daughter hasn't really completed the transition to full reading then I wouldn't look at the beginning of kindergarten as a "6 month stint". For sure they will be working on getting all the kids to read and probably assigning books to read at home every day. One part of the process will provide peer examples and the second provides a structure to build guided reading around at home. At least here, once it was required homework that provided the rationale to sit down together everyday for 10 minutes and work on out-loud reading regardless of motivation. Being patient and consistent can have amazing effects over time. What started as a very difficult process with my much more stubborn younger child (and at the very end of K at that) has evolved into a really fun part of the day that's just something we do by the end of 1st grade even though he's now way above grade level. I'm going to really miss the process once he transitions off to fully independent reading next year.
