I don't think you should exclude her from speaking requirements. It might be the nice thing in the short term but will not help her develop confidence about speaking. What I think would help most is s...

My teachers also worked out out with me this way. For presentations that were part of the curriculum and had to be done I was often able to present in front of my teacher and a few others from the dep...

Good job. I remember those horrible days, palms sweating, mathing out when it would be my turn to read and which question or section I'd have to say. I did not enjoy high school. If you can get over t...

Reading in class was one of the worst thing for me in high school and I was never completely able to do it. Congratulations!...
