The teacher could consider the sitting arrangement of the class, put the shy learner in a group sitting setting with other bold students who can assist the learner. Also, the learner may be encouraged to answer questions by sharing his answer with his/ her sit mates. 

The teacher could help include a 'shy' learner by organizing/encouraging a group work or group activities that will ensure participation by all participants. By doing this, the shy learner can feel more comfortable around his/her classmates.

The teacher should give group task but should supervise the group and encourage the shy learner to participate by prompting him/her to do one activity or another. This could be achieved by the teacher reassuring the shy learner that he can do the task.

The teacher should be deliberate in her approach by asking the shy learner to lead in the learner's areas of strength. This will enbolden the learner and make her look forward to leading/participating subsequently.

The teacher can build a relationship and a supportive environment for these students. The teacher can find out their interest and allow them to bring pictures from home and talk about it. Read books and hold class discussion to help them participate . Role play social situations so they can express themselves. 

The teacher should identify shy learners first,be friend them and always encouraging them to participate in class activities.

The teacher should also create extra time with the children who are finding work difficult so that they get one on one with the teacher.

Shy students are most surprisingly very intelligent dont want to make mistakes publicly. They have the habit to listen all that others are saying and could draw themselves almost the best conclusion from a discussion without participating. Now the task of the teacher might consist to accompany this category of learner to share also their thought as they belong to a given group. So the teacher has to tease them from time to time to make them voice their thoughts.

The teacher should first of all identify the slow/shy learners or those finding studying difficult and understand what actually is the reason for their being shy. Is it because they are afraid to talk in class because they have a poor language or because they feel intimidated by other children whom they think are more sharper than them. Lets look at the situation where a learner feels intimidated in class where there are some particular learners whom the teacher always concentrate on. It is good for the teacher to carry all students along and monitor each and every on e of them. The shy students can be engaged in group work with the other sharp students to work and share ideas and encourage one another.

I do support that the teacher should build a friendly relationship or bond with the "shy" student or student that is having learning difficulty. It is vital to identify his/her need -why is is the child shy? or what is his/her learning difficulty. Usage of kind and polite words is important to build trust with the child. Find extra time with her/him and spend time to talk to him/her and find out more what their interest is .The teacher should develop and show concerns with his/her parents  by developing partnership so the parents are aware of their child's learning. So there is a sound  understanding and discuss ways they could help from home. Moreover the teacher should be more sensitive during her/his teaching if she notices or has identified a child that is "shy" or having  learning difficulty.

As a result when the  friendly bond is developed and parents are aware too, although they may be "shy" or finding work difficult the teacher can include them by creating group work or pair work. Have peers to assist them during the group work. Allow discussion and provide tasks that the child can do and enjoy and feel included. They may be "shy" or finding the work difficult but build on their learning capacity the child already has to build their self esteem amongst others -their peers or small groups by giving the right support. 

The teacher can give a group work and spread the shy students amongst the strong once. This way, the shy students can be motivated by the bold once in other to be carried along, the teacher should make sure he monitors such actitivies.

I had a learner in Grade 5 who could not read or write. I stepped back and gave him basic work in writing and reading. I marked and gave positive comments for work far below the Grade. We built up the standard of work until he reached the level where others were. he felt motivated and proud of his progress and work on the whole. My attitude towards his performance was learner- centred and so was my approach to facilitate his learning.

Acknowledge the small and big efforts that the learner makes. Demistify the believe that the work is difficult by starting with what the learner is capable of doing and continue increase the difficult level gradually. Move from known to unknown or simple to complex. Give feedback to the learner in a dignifying manner. Avoid demeaning statements like “you don’t think”. Respect and create a conduisive learning environment.

To include a 'shy' learner or to encourage a student finding the work difficult, the teacher can try to find out before-hand one of the learner's interests and then incorporate it into the lesson. This may assist the learner to find enjoyment in the lesson and be motivated to participate.
