Remember that those lists are based on average kids, whereas each real child has different strengths and weaknesses and may be ahead or behind on certain items. It might be worth looking at the 7 year old checklist, if you can get hold of one, as there may well be things on there that she can do already that aren't on the 6 year old list.
Try having a look at these links, they may give more comprehensive development info:
