She'll be graduating Kindergarten. She's way above the curve in math and far below in English. She doesn't want to practice her sight words. She seems to hate English. She's probably not hopeless because since she was 4, she could write "/gamemode creative", "/gamemode survival" in minecraft. It's as if she wants to learn only what she wants to learn. Now she's 6 and our teacher said she's gonna have a tough time in first grade unless she gets better with her sight words. Any non-troll suggestions will be much appreciated.
What type of summer school should my child attend?

A big difference between language and spatial skills often signals learning disabilities. I totally disagree with what your teacher is saying. Your daughter needs intense phonic instruction. Every day but make it very short; 15 minutes only. You will need to learn how to do this right. Do not go pseudo phonic, it must be pure phonic instruction because that bypasses any learning disability.
Sight words will be impossible for her.
