Soror Kimmie,
I am working on my project for grad class and happened to come across this website that might offer assistance for helping you teach your friend how to read.

I am coming across a variety of sites to make a resource pamphlet for parents and teachers. If I find more sites, I will pass them along.
Hope this helps.
