She is starting in New Entrants next term? If she knows her alphabet and a few words she will be ahead. I have found the first year of the NZ school system to be the most flexible with kids working at their own pace. If your school uses a early cut off date (ours uses 31/3) though you will need to work on her not spending 7 terms in year one. Our school caps the level the kbids can go by the end of year two and my eldest hit the top one term into year two after four terms at school. They are insisting my youngest does 11 terms in y1/2.
Eta. The reason I mentioned she will be ahead is once she sees how other kids her age read she may realise she can read better than she thinks and be more willing to read out loud.
