Heidi was my favorite book in the 4th grade and the first book that made me want to travel.

I would also suggest reading aloud for awhile. Check the Sonlight catalog for good read aloud ideas - most are available at the library.
Some classic books would be good!

You can't beat some of the classics, especially for girls.
Try:
Anne of Green Gables
Anne of Avonlea
Anne of the Island
A Little Princess
The Secret Garden
Black Beauty
Heidi
You may want to have your daughter read the books and then see the movies for those that exist. This will help her appreciate the literature (not to take anything away from the movies) and help her to think critically by comparing the two.
Good luck!

Don't have to use any particular techniques if you give your kids things to read that they'll enjoy reading. With a couple of my sisters, that meant comic books. And don't mix reading with book reports! Book reports are the absolute best way to make reading miserable. Writing should be separate from reading.
