A friend of mine is having difficulties helping her son to retain the information he's learning. Any suggestions?
Making a video about the subject; writing a blog about whatever he is learning (even if he is complaining. My son would do this..he would "complain" in the car with me and my dh about how boring the thing he learned for the day. The funny part is that he recalled all of the information. I told him that although he was bored, he obviously retained it!). Make a lapbook about whatever subject. I knew of one mom whose son loved making websites. So for a "history" project, she had create a history website about the different time eras that they studied. He had to do all the research (books and the internet), and then, create a website page. She would grade him on how much information he posted.
