I actually have the same problem, and it was eventually determined that I have a mild form of dyslexia. Specifically, it affects my concentration when reading and my overall reading ability (not greatly for written languages, but I can't read music as a result).
If she has any of this, you should have her checked for dyslexia; however, diagnosis is not 100%, as with most learning disorders. But there are corrective methods if indeed this is the case.
Hope this helps (although, for her sake, I hope I'm wrong).

You didn't give enough 'details' of WHY she has difficulty 'sight reading' ... but I have a son who was dyslexic (he couldn't read the words because some of the letters would 'turn around' in his head. I bought him an Atari and he loved playing 'Space Invaders' and I noticed that for several hours afterwards, he could 'read properly.' Unfortunately, there are few of those old Ataris around anymore, but if you can find a game that has a layout like that, where things go from the top left to the top right and down line by line, and have her play that, you may find that her reading will improve.
I also have a son who could read perfectly well if he was 'alone' but if I asked him to 'read aloud' to me he couldn't do that ... I only knew that he could read because he'd be reading the street signs aloud to himself. If your daughter's problem is that she's not able to 'read aloud' to you, she still may be 'doing fine' with her 'sight reading' ... so you'll have to 'trick her' into 'reading aloud' in a way that she's 'not aware she's reading aloud to YOU.
Generally, problems in 'reading' are caught by the time a child reaches the second grade, and if you are 'homeschooling' you may want to go to the city and ask them to let your daughter go to ONLY 'remedial reading classes' and you should still be able to do the other 'schooling' at home. If your daughter is in a public school or a private school, then I suggest that if neither of my 'tricks' work, you ask for a 'meeting' with both your daughters teacher(s) and the principal of the school she goes to and tell them about her problem and DEMAND that they 'do something about this NOW' ... for some odd reason, many boys get sent to 'remedial reading' but girls don't get the referrals despite the same problems, so that DEMAND my be necessary.
One more thing ... make sure that your daughter has plenty of 'good kids books' to read ... and the BEST way you can do this is to take her to a BIG bookstore (they all have Children's sections) and tell her that she'll get four new books EVERY MONTH that she may 'pick herself' on ANY SUBJECT she wants (or any novel she wants) but that she's got to 'read at least two hours every day' above and beyond 'just going to school' and tell her that she may choose to 'just read alone' and you can sit in the same room and read your own book for the same two hours, or she may 'read aloud to you' and you'll 'help her' when she stumbles. Sometimes just 'knowing you'll help' will give a child the confidence needed to 'make a few mistakes' ... and reading is one of the BEST THINGS she can do, so be sure that you 'follow through.'

First, permit her examine the song along with her ears, not her eyes. permit her slowly learn the association of the notes and slowly get right into a rhythm. She does not might desire to start off getting to grasp a song at this is common pace. permit her gradually build as much as finished pace as she will become familiar with a song. maximum of all, don't be discouraged if she gets annoyed. I play the saxophone, and that i don't grasp each and every song myself.

How old is she? It could be an eye problem or even a processing problem (information going in but she is unable to get it out correctly). The main solution is practise - practise basic sounds, sound blends and sight words. Lots of Internet sites available to give you lists of sight words. I hope this helps.

GET HER EYES CHECKED AT AN EYE SPECIALIST .
PROPER ILLUMINATION SHOULD BE THERE WHILE STUDYING.
LET HER TAKE A LOT OF FOOD RICH IN IRON FOR EXAMPLE
GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES.
IF POSSIBLE LET HER TAKE 8-9 HOURS SLEEP A DAY
