I think a private evaluator is called for. Dyslexia is a spectrum of issue, not an either/or situation, as far as I know, so your D could have it, or she could have some totally different issues.

If your D enjoys it and in particular enjoys mastering reading through, why not let her continue with phonics right now? My s-i-l used Hooked on Phonics for her son before he entered school, and she swears by it. My two Ss were educated with variations on whole language and have come out well. I personally think a mix of the two approaches works best, but phonics is a good basis to begin with. But I definitely suggests having your D tested for learning issues. She sounds like a very bright girl who may get discouraged if these issues are not addressed in time.
