Just been for dd parents evening and been told yet again how quiet she is. They assume she is shy and lacking in confidence but she just so isn't and will happily throw herself into new situations. She just doesn't like speaking in front of a group. She is in year 5, doing brilliantly academically, but we can tell they are concerned that this will become an increasing problem as she moves up the school (she is in a middle school). There only strategy seemed to be picking on her to speak in class
We have made an appointment to see the head. But in the meantime, are there any teachers/parents who have been in this situation and found strategies that work?
