Jennifer · February 1, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Some of my kids easily remember what they learn, while others need a little help, and still others need intensive, daily practice — even for things they learned months ago.

But we’ve found that no matter the extent of the problem, the same principles and activities can help. That’s music to this busy mama’s ears!
