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!) I would provide the student with a heads up before you call on her. This will give the opportunity for her to prepare and possibly not feel as though she is put on the spot in class. As she becomes more comfortable with reading aloud, you can work at reducing or eliminating the heads up you provide her.
