You don't indicate your daughter's age or grade-level. I don't know
the Nutting work, but I'd recommend something like OUP's _Athenaze_
for lower level beginners (it seems to me more of a high-schoolish
textbook, while CUP's (JACT) _Reading Greek_ is at a somewhat higher
level; both of these textbooks emphasize reading ability rather than
traditional pedagogy.
