What FF said. She is only 5, so it's a blessing she is reading already! Probably has a mega IQ, LT. I wouldn't worry about her yet; just keep an eye out as you would for all your kids. A friend has one son with dyslexia -- he is a math whiz but reading is a prob. (Unfortunately, her git huz really belittled the kid until they found the cause, but the boy is doing much better, just with better support). I would also encourage your daughter's other skills --art, mebbe drama or sports -- where she can feel she is doing well and ensure that she does not feel "stupid". For sure she is not. Keep us posted on the munchkin!
