She can read the easy picture book type thing, although I don't think more practise would go amiss there either, but I'm not sure what the next step should be to be most successful.

By far the best book I've read (well am reading right now!) is the one I plan to use with mine...even the eldest who reads relatively fluently, to make sure she really understands the code.
