you could offer positive reinforcement like x amount of a's and/or b's gets a reward
ultimately, it's up to her to be motivated though...

You are well on the way to this. The best way to help your child get good grades is to be as involved with their schooling as possible. Be an actively involved parent, do not let a day go by without asking what did you learn today and asking to see homework. Set aside time for her to do her homework in a stable quiet environment. This might mean a household no TV rule for an hour after supper. Let her see you read, let her see you balance the checkbook, let her do measurements when you cook, let her look at maps when you go on trips. Engage her with her learning, do not tell her it will be important someday, show her how she needs it everyday. Go to parent teacher conferences and develop a good communication with her teachers. Ask for phone calls or emails, not just wait for report cards.

Encourage her by doing some reading yourself (A book, newspaper, academic article). Maybe have a reading night, where you two read things separately and then read a book together.
Maybe the best thing is to give deadlines of when homework should be complete. Help her fit some of the lessons into her real life. Cooking is great way to use math skills.

The best way to help your daughter is by modeling the importance of what she is doing. It is important to have good reference materials in the home. Used books stores are an excellent resource, as well as a good supervised internet connection. Read to her and have her read to you. Make sure she has a quiet, pleasant environment to do her homework in, and make sure that her efforts are rewarded, even if it's verbal praise or a specific privilege. Get her to talk about her future, and make sure she understands that she has a place in it. Talk about how her schoolwork impacts upon her future, how the choices she makes now influence the path she takes, and how she is shaping and controlling her destiny by making positive choices and meeting her goals.
Take her out into the world you want her to be in. Make sure that she gets a chance to see museums and libraries. Take her to see the places she talks about wanting a career in. Teach her the language of that career and speak that language with her. Encourage her to develop friendships with peers who have similar goals. Let her collect movies and books that speak to her goals. Make sure she has lots of pencils, paper, a calculator, and that her property is clearly labeled and has it's own safe place.
Make sure she has a chance to invest in her community while she is still young enough to make it a life habit. Encourage her to volunteer in her career field and put her developing skills to work. Even more important than the good she can do, the skills she is learning will take on value and she will learn to trust and depend on them. Keep track of her volunteer hours and accomplishments. You will need them when she applies for College. Most important though, if you want education to be important to her, you have to prioritize it in your own life. If she sees you doing it, it will mean more to her as well. We are either learning or burning. It's never to late or too little. Take a seminar, a single course, or just a training session. Let her know what you got out of it and what it did for you. Take a couple of classes together if you can. Show her that it should be important to her, because it is important to you.

As a recently retired elem teacher, my first question would be, have you talked to the teacher to see if her tested abilities are at normal level. For example, in reading, is she reading at grade level or does she need extra help. It is important to help them "where they are at". If she needs extra help and it is not good for you to help her (personality), there are often other kids in her school or middle schoolers who are neighbors who can help. Is it a matter of her not doing her work or can't or ?

get a tutor for your child or ask the teacher if he/she can stay after school to give your child some extra help on anything they are struggling with.............when you see improvements in your child's grade it means that what you've done to help your child really helped them have a better future if you think about it......if you didn't do anything about it then your child's future might not be so good........but if you do something about it....you are actually helping to improve not only your child's grades but their future as well.......
