[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.  Kid is 7 and by flash cards I mean working on memorizing sight words because I've been told that's the only way to get the beginning ones down.  I mainly wanted to hear about logistics of making time for the work and for getting the kid over whatever psychological barrier he has about doing work.[/quote]

OP, there are fun iPad apps like endless words (or something like that) and Preschool Prep Videos.  Find fun ways.  https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-preschool-prep-10-dvd-reading-set-basics-sight-words-phonics

For reading, the get step readers in the characters child likes - forget the boring Bob and other books.  Pick books of interest.

Do basic Kumon, Brain Quest, School Zone workbooks, even the ones from the dollar tree to work on handwriting and basic math, writing, and other skills.  Just start with a page, then increase to 2-3 pages at a time.

Ignore those who say it is not helpful.  We found/find it very helpful.  Its not fun, but its a necessary task.  Ignoring it and only having work at school is not a good well rounded approach.[/quote]
