what is the best book to help my 1’st grader understand subtraction?

My daughter is in first grade and is struggling in Math already. She especially can’t understand subtraction. I’ve tried so many different ways. I think they just teach so fast and move on to the next problem too quickly for her. Any tips from other parents on what to do?

Maybe try visually, have ten straws give her 10, then take away 5 and ask her how many does she have left? Every time she gets it correct she gets a point. 3 points equals a cookie or whatever.
