Have you asked her why she is so frustrated when this happens? I wondered if she just said "I hate this" or if she would actually say something more significant.
That is such a good point, I actually did ask her, and we went out to get her some new books. She picked out some easy reading books and is sounding out the words wonderfully! I do think she has some sort of eyesight issue though, she confuses "d's" and "b's". Is this common, or could this be dyslexia?
