Dd doesn't like learning at school

Do you have the magic 100 words?? I'd start with them.
As for books, talk about the story first, as her what he thinks the book might be about by looking at the front cover, then look at all the pictures, discussing what's going on, then read the book to her, always using the pictures to tell the story

Came in here ready to offer advice, but you've had so many great suggestions, I don't think you need them!

Just reiterating the 'no pressure' thing. The last thing you want is her resenting you! (save that for her teachers, lol!). Reading the picture cues is an important step in learning to read, as is memorising. So, 'rereading' the same book over and over is great. Read for pleasure with her, get her to repeat after you, pointing to the words as she goes. Model reading in front of her. If she's struggling with lots of words, get easier books so its not so frustrating for either if you. And the pre-reading stuff Olive suggested is great too.

Another thought - has she had her eyesight checked?

Olive is that the sight words?
Ive got them, even cut them out to play games with her. She's not interested

School also gives her a new list every week she has to learn. Also not interested

Jleigh she had her eyes checked before starting school she is fine but havent had her hearing tested.

Yes they are sight words, you start with the most common and stay on them until you know them all, I think red words is first.
Have you tried reading eggs for her???

Golden words are first
