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 don't think there is an easy way to have her respond in front of the class if she does not feel comfortable doing so. I very much understand wanting to ensure she's engaging in the academic material, so I would instead check with her during activities and the like, when the classroom attention isn't on her. The performance of being put on a platform in front of the class is not going to be a boon in regards to keeping her engaged, so instead look for more one on one methods.
