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'd say it depends on how the student feels. Is she shy about reading aloud? Maybe instead of doing individual readings, you could do a choral reading with her group of desks or have all girls read then all boys read, etc. This may make her feel more comfortable. I'd also try some kind of incentive with her, starting out with the choral readings. If she reads when it's her turn, she gets 1 point. When she gets to 5 or 10 points, she gets some kind of small incentive.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I think this is a good and well thought out solution.
