She might have a reading disability and therefore not enjoy reading that much. You could do two things - give her some free time by helping her with the cleaning and and cooking, or read out loud to her while she's doing these things, something that interests both of you. Better to light a candle than curse the darkness, is the old saying that goes here, I think. My mother never let me know that she had a hard time with reading, nor my aunt (my family immigrated), nor even how much trouble they had understanding English. My aunt's doctor recently told her she had a mass in her kidney. My aunt understood it to mean there was a mess in it, ie her kidney was a total mess. It was just a benign tumor, harmless. Like a third of people die with them undiscovered in their bodies, no big deal, they just found it because of another test. Anyway! off the subject, sorry.
If you don't have any common interests, develop your own, get good grades, blah blah blah.
