  2. We did 4 levels of AAS. The first 3 levels had most of the rules. The 4th level was mostly memorising words with similar patterns. Also the words were quite easy. My DS9 could spell them all. I decided not to continue with levels 5-7. After completing 4 levels my son has similar problems to your son because it all comes down to memorising words. There is no rule that tells you why in one word it's a long o and in the other it's oa. I have a workbook that has lists of words and some rules (Spelling Age 7-9 Practice Workbook). We do the workbook. Then I test my son (on a different day) to see how many words he can spell. The words that he misspells go onto the list I create on the site called Spelling City (I use the free version. By the way there are tons of lists there, including all the levels of AAS). Then I make up sentences with those words and dictate them (3-4 sentences per day). It works for us.

  4. Yes, we did it on our own. I started to teach my DS8 when he was 4.5 and we did it for almost two years. I learned soroban on youtube and then taught it to my son. At the beginning, we tried to use both hands. But that didn't work well, so we just used one hand (his dominant left hand). You basically use your thumb and the index finger. I found lots of worksheets on japanese sites (google translate was a big help :)) At that time I didn't know about Abacus Mind Math (Heathermomster mentioned it above). Otherwise, I would have definitely bought the workbooks. Apps and sites we used: Know Abacus (can be found on both google play and itunes) Simple Soroban (google play) Abacus trainer (google play, itunes, windows 10) http://www.hamsterforce.com/AbacusTrainer.html http://www.uitti.net/stephen/soroban/soroban_sheets.pl http://www.sorobanexam.org/ Anzan: At the beginning, when things were slow, I was reading the numbers and then we moved to the following two: http://www.japanmatrix.com/anzan/ Flash anzan tower (itunes) We stopped doing Soroban because my DS started to hate it. He found it boring. I also think he couldn't cope with the time pressure. You have to complete exercises at a certain speed; you have to race against the timer. And I could see it was stressing him out. So, we stopped. Although we did it only for two years the results were great and they still last. He knew to multiply two digits by two digits at the age of 6. He easily adds and subtracts (sometimes faster than me :D). I wish he would continue, but even those two years were enough to boost his math skills.
  5. Actually, it's a good way to teach a child that it's not all written in stone and that there is more than one theory. However, I believe that one has to be consistent, i.e. choose a theory that makes the most sense and stick to it.

  7. Evan Moor's Daily Practice books (science, geography, math, etc.) have several editions - a teacher's edition print, teacher's edition e-book, and a student edition. The student edition has only workbook pages. The teacher's edition (both print and e-book) has explanations, new vocabulary and the student's workbook. I buy only the teacher's edition.
