3. One of the keys to responding effectively to "almost right" answers--reinforcing effort but holding out for top-quality answers--is having a list of phrases you think of in advance. After reflecting, try to write four or five of your own.
1) You're almost there--now what's the rest of the answer?
2) You've got a good start; now cross the finishing line!
3) I like the direction you're headed. Can you keep going further?
4) You've got the right idea; can you make it even clearer?
5) OK, but can you look at it from a different angle and answer again?
