I am not sure that giving her easier work will make it more likely she will focus. She will still have to come up with the "right" answer.
Sorry to repeatedly reply, but I wanted to address this as well. We've found in the past that when we place her in non-GT/accelerated classes, she can get As easily despite her focus being no better b/c the work is easy enough that she doesn't need to pay attention to quickly pull out the answer if needed. Even if she is overlooking parts of directions on tests and losing some points for that, she has so many A+ grades that they provide the cushion needed to keep her in the A range. Having her get easy As isn't necessarily my goal, though, and I don't know that it will build legitimate confidence.
