At her age, two things you need to get started that will benefit her so she feels comfortable on:
1. Off-hand dribbling and not looking at the ball while she is dribbling.
2. Shooting technique, even if she misses, make sure her form is correct.
Dribbling drills:
Warm up by dribbling for 1 minute with each hand. Then have her dribble up and down the court, heads up as much as possible. Up with the right, back down the court with her left. Do this a few times. Then, the last drill would have her go up and down the court with her back against where she is going...go zig-zag on this drill switching hand appropriately.
For shooting technique.....since she is fairly young, i'm assuming she is using both hands equally to shoot the ball. Thing to just watch out for is that she is using her legs and springing up, and that the ball starts below her chin then up for a shot. Proper form will develop as she grows stronger. A video would really pay off. There some cheap ones out there.
Some of the answers of course I have read should not be put aside, such as proper foot work....but experience have shown me starting kids with the two I mentioned helps during their development.
Hope that helps you get started.

As a coach I believe footwork is very important. "Hot feet" fast tapping on the toes for intervals of five to ten seconds. Keeping knees bent and in a good defensive position.
Rebounding: throw the ball off a wall and make sure she catches the ball by jumping with hands extended to catch the ball at its highest point.
Layups: When doing the right handed Layup tell her to plant the left foot, and as she raises her right hand an imaginary line connecting her right elbow to he right knee.
These are some basic tips to help with footwork.

DAVID B ANSWER WAS PRETTY GOOD BUT FOR OFFENSIVE JUMP SHOT I WILL GIVE YOU A SIMPLE DRILL I DO AND REGGIE MILLER DID. HAVE HER SHOT FROM 3 FEET OUT DEAD CENTER AND SHE DOES NOT MOVE FROM THAT SPOT TILL SHE MAKES THE SHOT.
AFTER SHE MAKES THAT SHE IS REWARDED BY BEING ABLE TO MOVE ONE STEP OR HALF STEP BACK. THIS WORKS BECAUSE FOR EACH SHOT SHE ONLY HAS TO SHOT WITH A LITTLE MORE ENERGY AND SHE GETS THE"FEEL" FOR THE LONGER NEXT SHOT. EVENTUALLY SHE WILL IMPROVE RANGE ALL THE WAY BACK TO FOUL LINE WHERE I USUALLY END DRILL. THIS DRILL ALSO WORKS BECAUSE IF SHE MISSES LEFT YOU SIMPLY SAY MORE TO THE RIGHT HONEY. IF SHE MISSES TO RIIGHT YOU JUST SAY MORE LEFT AND SHE WILL AGAIN DEVELOP A "FEEL" FOR THE SHOTS.

Try to make it as fun as possible for her. I would suggest some ball handling drills, dribbling drills, and just try to keep as fun as possible. Maybe play a game with her that is called dribble tag. You can find the game here:

Also, I would suggest to check out this site http://www.sacredhoops.com!
Other then that, have a lot of fun!

Layup drill. Run to the right side give her the ball she shoots. Go to the left side and give her the ball and she shoots. Then when she is confortable let her move out more.
