What would you do to get the student to open up and start talking? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I went through this in fourth grade and I refused to speak to others. From what I can remember, the teacher made it clear that If I needed something, I was going to have to use my words. Eventually I reached out and broke out of my shell. I think that the teacher should have a conversation with the student, see what may be the reason. Setting up a meeting with the parents can be beneficial.
