In Hebrew, you always put the adjective after the noun. So you would write: She reads book nice.
Yeah, like I heard it once said in Israel its "cake cheese" instead of cheesecake

But there is no adjective in the word "cheesecake". The reason why someone would say "cake cheese" is because that is how you say it in Hebrew - עוגת גבינה, literally "the cake of cheese".
היא קוראת יפה = She reads well
Yafe in the original sentence refers only to the book, not to the she.
In Hebrew the the adjective comes after the noun, so it's היא קוראת ספר יפה
No - קוראת (kore'et) is the singular female form. if you add a "ו" it becomes plural: קוראות (kor'ot).

Yes, you need the pronoun "she". Hebrew, like English, always uses pronouns. The verb "קוראת" is also used with the pronoun "I" feminine and "you" feminine singular.

Because קוראת is the correct form. קוראה was correct in Biblical Hebrew, but it's not used in Modern Hebrew.
