Don’t overlook the obvious—read aloud to him every night at least 15 minutes, a half hour if you can manage it. (He will not see this as extra loading, although you may!)

I’ve always read to him and now for first grade one of his nightly homework assignments is for him to read, which we do with phonographix, and for me to read to him. We have discovered the Captain Underpants series, which I probably get more enjoyment out of.

Thank you, I will check out the website!

There are techniques that can be used to trick yourself into remembering specific facts.

Usually this involves placing some association with the item that has meaning to the person. It is something many people do without even realizing it and others need to learn to do.

For example when I meet someone, I will say their name under my breath and then try to associate it with another person or perhaps a personal attribute that has meaning, Kerry, looks Irish and she is named after a county in Ireland. If I don’t do this I can’t remember at all. Another one I used for my son, School starts in September. The S is a link that brings the memory forward. We March on St. Patricks day.
My son has a good memory for somethings but dates are very hard for him. I think it has something to do with his sequencing difficulties.

Earobics has some auditory memory exercises in a couple of different games. My child has trouble with that, too. I think the amount of therapy you are mentioning is good. You are right not to overload him.

Here is a very wonderful article regarding working memory:
