I will give her a lot of time to respond. I will restate the question in a few different ways. I make every attempt to involve her in the lesson, but she only responds once and a while. How do I ease her anxiety? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would say instead of calling on her for an answer, wait until she feels comfortable enough to raise her hand and respond on her own. This way she does not feel the pressure of being on the spot in front of everyone.
