How do I teach a very distracted girl the abcs?

[Aaron S]

I'm doing college required community service and I have to teach this girl in a poor community the ABCs

She's really behind her peers when it comes to reading. I've tried repeating A-D to her but I haven't had much of a breakthrough. She knows how to recite them but I haven't been able to get her write them down perfectly or put them in the correct order. I've found that she has the most trouble distinguishing d and b.

But my biggest problem with her is she doesn't pay attention. She constantly fidgets in her seat and the least disturbance sends her attention out the window. Even when she looking at the work, I can see that her eyes keep going all over the place.

I talk to her parents awhile ago and she has the same problems in school. They're still deciding if she should graduate into the first grade but I feel like she'll have a a really hard time.
