I wouldn't go via Well Street Common. I'd carry on through Victoria Park, crossing Grove Road at the Royal Inn, then leave the park via Gore Road, and go north along Skipworth Road/Ainsworth Road. She can then either do Well Street as you've drawn, or turn into King Edward's Road from Ainsworth Road, then either all the way to Mare Street or a left along Tryon Crescent through the little snicket to Tudor Road, and then to Mare Street. The difficulty with the two latter options is that Mare Street is harder to cross south of the Well Street junction, but after that you can easily get to London Fields from there.
In Canonbury, I wouldn't go via Canonbury Place and Canonbury Square, but go to the end of Canonbury Grove and cross New North Road there--Canonbury Place and Square are a terrible rat-run that I doubt will get filtered.
The rest seems fine.
As she gets more experienced, she should try out different options and find her own favourite routes. And, obviously, she should consider cycle training. :)
