Teachers should not ask pupils to put their hands up in class to answer questions, according to government advice.
Research has suggested quiet children, who do not put their hands up, are falling behind.
It identified a group of youngsters who struggle to keep up with their classmates between the ages of seven and 11, despite doing well in previous years.
Ministers published a report advising schools how to help these so-called "invisible children", who often try to avoid drawing attention to themselves during lessons.
Education Secretary Alan Johnson said: "We need to make sure that no-one is left behind at any point - from the most gifted and talented children at the top of the class, to the quiet child who is well-practised at hiding from the teacher's gaze at the back of the class."
