  • Recall - “How did you feel when you had to speak in front of everyone

    • get her to share her thoughts about what happened during oral presentation and choral reading


      rationalise - “What are some of the reasons that make you feel like you are bad at speaking in front of everyone?”

  • replace - ask the student “what is the best case scenario?”

    • get her to reframe her thoughts into postive thoughts
