Subject: 3rd grade native speaker non-reader

Hi,
My daughter is entering third grade next week and I've just been
informed there is no budget for a separate class for native speakers.
(There are around 7-8 girls who are medabrot in her class.) She will
have to sit in the classroom with 30 other girls, the majority of whom
are Hebrew speakers with zero background in English while they learn
basic ABCs from Click 1 (Eric Cohen).

The English teacher said that if my daughter knew how to read, she
could purchase a separate book and work on her own in the classroom.
(She was unable to recommend a particular book.) The problem is that
she falls more into the category of medabrot rather than dovrot. Her
speaking skills and vocabulary are native-level, but although she
recognizes some words globally, she is really not reading yet.

I would appreciate any recommendations, advice and input.
Thanks and we should all have a successful year,
Chani
