The best way to improve comprehension is by reading - a lot! Maybe you could reward her for each book she reads. You have to have a system to double check that she is actually reading the book, such as writing a two page report about the book or actually picking up the book, thumbing through it, and randomly ask her questions about the book. The more she reads, the better she will do in just about every subject.

Try reading short, simple stories to her every night. Read the same ones for about a week. Once you are finished reading ask her to read them back to you and then ask her to explain the story. Gradually increase the difficulty of the reading content until she is at grade level. It is important to stress to her that she needs to pay attention. If she cannot stay on task it is possible the work is too difficult. If she cannot repeat the story back to you at least a little, try helping her along a bit until she gets the hang of storytelling. It doesn't have to be fancy, just let her retell the story in her own words. Reading is the most important thing to teach kids. Make the books appeal to her and her grade level. Be consistent and you should see improvement.

You should have your daughter's school test her reading level. If her reading level is lower than the current grade she is in, they should do an I.E.P.(Individualized Education Plan) for her to get her the tutoring & help that she needs. I'm glad she is doing well in her other subjects. As long as it's just reading, I see no reason why she should go back to second grade.
If after testing, they find that she is reading at her grade level, then it's laziness on the child's part.
Reading comprehension problems & inability to read affect every aspect of a students learning. Get her tested. Find out where the reading difficulty is & get her the tutoring she needs(your local school district should have tutors or a tutoring service) or offer a remedial reading course.
Hope this helps.

I think you should watch her for a bit and see what she needs help on;you can help her by explaining the process of the things that she can`t do well. Then you can help her by taking her to the library regulary so she can check out a second grade level book. Do her homework together and even though you have to be strict,be funny too. Help her do well in class. The stuff she`s good at,still help her. Never push your kid too hard or they are going to crack. Push but gently. Always try to understand her but don`t spoil her.
