One trick that might work is to purchase 2 sets of inexpensive magnetic letters (98 cents at WalMart). Use a cookie sheet and encourage her to make and sound out words. You can replace a letter and show her how easy it is to change "pan" to "man" to "fan" etc. I would start with 2 letter words/sounds unless she is already beyond it... (an, it, ot, etc). Also, check out the easy readers and BOB books at your library. Sometimes, the picture books/easy readers with words and a picture thrown in work nicely (I can't remember what they are called; there is a specific term for it; one of these types of books is called The Big Snowball). That way, she can "read" the picture embedded in the middle of text. HTH & Good luck!
