  1. I agree. We had success when we switched to right brain strategies after previously using RS math, skip counting and flashcards. We got the Times Tales DVD (through Dianne Craft I think) and my then 11yo learned multiplication and division facts in two weeks. He's now 13 and working through Epsilon and occasionally still repeats the TT story to recall a fact. Usually he doesn't have to say the whole story in order for the answer to pop into his brain. Dianne Craft's explanation on how to teach counting up for subtraction also worked wonders with visualizing subtraction facts. It's free information on her website.
  2. I was trying to remember what we used specifically and I think we used the Ask and Answer Curious Kids Game Boards. It's been a while. :)
  3. Ehlers Danlos Type 3 is hypotonia caused by too much collagen in the connective tissues. My dd was seen by a neurologist first and then dx'd with EDS Type 3 by a geneticist at a Children's Hospital at 6 mos. She received physical therapy til she was 3 yo. Today, she's nearly 10 and still is the slowest runner in PE class and is just now able to pull everything together to swim. She has to be careful to not over extend or do high impact exercise like gymnastics. We do wall pushups and planks and ball exercises to strengthen her core. As a baby she was so flexible she scratched the top of her head with her toes and today she can still lie on her stomach and touch the back of her head with her foot. But we don't encourage it because it'll make her hip and ankle joints pop (not dislocate, but like when you crack your knuckles.) She has no learning difficulties and is doing very well school wise.
  4. Superduper.com has games for teaching children how to answer WH questions correctly. We worked on one WH question at a time til my child responded 8 out of 10 times correctly. It was a fun way to learn and practice the skill.
