The best way to include her in your daily group activities is to A) Ask a volunteer to provide her with individual attention.B) provide her with some books to read while you work with the other children. C) let her watch an educational video. D) provide an art activity for Julie and two or three other children.

The answer should be obvious to you.

What do you think the answer is?

D) provide an art activity for Julie and two or three other children.

Right! :-) That's a good way to include a shy child into the group without overwhelming her.

The best way to include Julie in daily group activities, considering her speech delay and shyness with other children, would be to provide an art activity for Julie and two or three other children (option D).

Explanation:
A) Asking a volunteer to provide Julie with individual attention might make her feel singled out or self-conscious, potentially exacerbating her shyness.
B) Providing her with books to read while working with other children may isolate her further and not actively involve her in the group activities.
C) Letting her watch an educational video could potentially distract her from participating in the group activities, and it may not actively address her speech delay or encourage social interaction with other children.

D) Providing an art activity for Julie and a small group of children allows her to engage in a creative task that may help facilitate communication and self-expression. Additionally, working in a small group setting can help alleviate Julie's shyness and provide opportunities for her to interact with peers in a controlled and supportive environment. This will foster social development and give Julie the chance to observe how other children communicate and interact while participating in the art activity.
