Asking friendly and good questions can help the struggling student clarify their understanding, while also helping other group members reinforce their own comprehension of the material. Taking over the student's assignment or focusing only on students who have already mastered the material can create a dependency and hinder the struggling student's growth. Asking the teacher for help is also a good option, but this does not directly involve the other students in the group working together to support each other's learning.
