It is not necessary for a woman observing her menses to make wudu when offering dua. However, if she does so, then she will be rewarded for it, inshAllah.

لا تقرأ الحائض والنفساء والجنب شيئا من القرآن والآية وما دونها سواء في التحريم على الأصح إلا أن لا يقصد بما دون الآية القراءة مثل أن يقول الحمد لله يريد الشكر أو بسم الله عند الأكل أو غيره فإنه لا بأس به.
