If your daughter is very bright, and it would appear to be the case, then the lack of attention might be caused by simple boredom. The teacher has to make sure all students learn the material, but this often means that the smartest in the class are bored. There are several ways to handle this.
One method would be for the teacher to change teaching style to be more engaging, and provide challenges on different levels so that there is something for everyone. This would be a suggestion for the teacher though, and you might not be able to suggest this without insulting her.
Other methods involve giving the child extra tasks during class, either covertly (tasks given by the parent, at home) or overtly (extra assignments given by the teacher).
- For the former, you could give your daughter extra instructions, for instance paying attention to any special words the teacher uses, and discussing them at home, or collecting statistics on how often the other kids answer, and do so correctly. If nothing else, this gives your daughter something to do instead of daydreaming, and it might even help her learn new things or words.
- Extra assignments from the teacher might not be allowed from the school, this depends on national and regional laws.
Discuss these ideas with the teacher, perhaps you can come up with something even better. The goal is to find something that engages your daughter and keeps her attention high, without creating a lot of overhead or extra work for the teacher.
