Furthermore…….
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said that reciting Qur’aan does not require covering the head.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said in his comments on sujood al-tilaawah (prostration required when reading certain verses of the Qur’aan): “Sujood al-tilaawah is to be done when reading Qur’aan. It may be done in any state, even with the head uncovered, etc., because this prostration is not subject to the rulings on prayer.”

So……
it is recommended (not obligatory) for her to cover her awrah (nakedness) – head and body with a scarf or anything to cover her body, out of respect.. This is because the recitation of the Quran is a symbol of Islam, about which Allah says in the Quran:
ذَٰلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ شَعَٰٓئِرَ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِن تَقْوَى ٱلْقُلُوبِ
“Whosoever venerates the symbols of Allah, then it is truly from the piety of the hearts”. ( Quran 22:32)

Besides the above two times, a Muslim adult female is not obligated to cover her head, at any time.
However……
When she hears the Quran being recited out loud or she want to recite Quran herself, it is recommended (not obligatory) for her to cover her awrah (nakedness) – head and body with a scarf or anything to cover her body, out of respect.

*RESPONSE*
Firstly
Covering the head with a hijab–or “khimar” as it is referred to in the Quran–is obligatory upon a Muslim female who has reached puberty in only two situations:
1️⃣ When she is performing her Salaah i.e. daily prayers;
2️⃣ When she appears before, or can be seen by, adult males who are not her mahrams (closely related family members).
