It really does depend on the age and the kid. I generally warn kids that I want them to 'lock their lips' and keep their thinking inside until they are called on. Using turn and talk as a strategy for answering questions lets everyone get it out quickly. If all else fails, I have been known to invite kids to whisper in my ear.
