kids learn by watching mostly. Constant repetition is always great. having kids do things over and over in a fun creative way sparks interest in other methods of doing things. Like build a house with blocks one way for awhile and then allow them to do it and see if it is the same. Switch it up and see if the creative has been challeged to do it another way. I love School House Rock videos. Kids love visual stimulations and you should encourage them to draw or take them to kids musuem and see how they perceive things on their level. If it is negative, ask them what they think would make it more interesting to them to get more involved with the subject. If you notice a child likes to draw and doesn't pay attention, then have the child draw pictures of the information or words being used to explain what they are doing or about the lesson. So kids are mental(words) and others are hands on(visual). But other are audio learners. If you have one of these then have the parent use a tape recorder and have them listen to it and then ask the child question later. Maybe add their favorit music to the recording to spark retention like stupid songs do. Sometimes it can be a retrival mechanism. Like Conjunction Juxtion, What's you Function? is a schoolhouserock melody that I stilll remember to this day about grammar. I works. I hope this will helpl you with your project.
