  Case: Class Participation
Students are required to participate in reading during my class. Sometimes we read aloud and I'll randomly call on someone to read aloud because it's a part of their grade and ensures that they are following along and paying attention. This one particular student fails to read at any given moment that she is called on. She can read, but she just refuses to read. What can I do to encourage her to participate in class?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Depending on the situation, perhaps you could find something that you know you will be reading in class and give it to her a day or two in advance. Explain to her that you need for her to read out loud in class for her participation grade, and then allow her to practice the passage/paragraph at home on her own to gain confidence.

Comments: Student could be shy in reading, and giving her a few days in advance to prepare her to read I believe would be the best solution.

Comments: I wouldn't tell her in advanced what she'll be reading aloud because she might practice and show a good performance, and this will not let the teacher know if she is capable of reading any kind of section.
I would definitely explain her the reason for her participation and tell her in advanced the day of the evaluation that she will be called out to read after someone else. That way maybe she can be prepared to read.
