Sing the tough facts
Sevens, eights and nines slow kids down most. Play a skip counting song for one tough fact family each week. Kids sing along, then try the facts without the song. Fast facts make big problems easier.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).
