Hi, Thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
In my opinion slow rate of her learning is due to low IQ in your child.
I would like to suggest following things for her.
First ask her to match the words on two different cards with the picture of the word. For eg ask her to match two cards having a picture of the ball with ball written on it. Then when she can consistently match this you can remove picture from one card and she has to match the word only. Then she can be asked to trace the word, then write it.
You can make use of her liking of compute and teach her typing if she does not like writing.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
