- Memory
Verses: just saying these together two or three times may be as much as
you can do in class. Some churches print the memory verses in the
congregational bulletin, so parents can encourage their children to
learn them.
- Helping shy students: try to avoid pressuring the shy
student to read or answer against their wishes. Talking to the student
encouragingly in private, or asking parents for help may be part of the
answer. This is usually a situation that changes only slowly - so be
patient.
-
Students who ‘know it all’: there's one in most classes!
Take the student aside after class and appeal to the need for everyone
to have a fair go - please don't always answer the questions because
other students need to be able to think about them! If appeal doesn't
work, try getting a parent's help. But the situation needs to be dealt
with or a whole year's teaching can have the edge taken off it for
everyone.
