To me it sounds like you're agonising way too much, way too soon. Especially given that you've just moved and the kid has seen huge change. My first thought is that if you push too much, you could well put her off reading even further and end up with the opposite result to what you're after.
Taming's got the best advice as far as I'm concerned - play it cool, give the kid time and don't push.
I never went to kindergarten, started school at seven (we did back then) and couldn't read a word at the time. Despite growing up in a house full (almost literally) of books and where people read constantly, no-one ever went further than teaching me the alphabet. Within a year I was a fluent reader and by the time I was fourteen I had read pretty much every book in the house, including the ones in English.
