Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Avery is using the strategy of accommodation, which is when a communicator adjusts their language, gestures, and other aspects of their communication style to better fit the needs of their audience. In this case, Avery is adjusting her physical position (sitting at eye level) and her language (using short, simple sentences) to better communicate with her kindergarten students.
