Ask them more questions? Perhaps maybe pull them aside and see if they need to be readjusted in a different area so that they can concentrate more? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Incentives are helpful in this situation. First you want to commonly ask said student questions about the material, most likely they will not know the answer. Eventually they will want to know the answer so they do not risk the possible embarrassment they could feel, and in return for a correct answer, you should give them a verbal positive reinforcement as an incentive. This is not guaranteed to work but will increase your odds of said student paying attention a little more.
