I posted a while back about my dyslexic son who was going through hell trying to learn his times tables and then feeling humiliated in class when he then couldn't remember them. We have now started him on times tables tales and that seems to be helping a bit but what has really caught his attention (and works) is an app designed for his iTouch. It's called Times Table Clock and he is obsessed with it! We began by agreeing with him that he would spend 10 minutes a day playing on it before going on to his usual games, but I'm finding he spends way longer on it because it feels just like another game. And I don't know how but it has really accelerated his recall of tables. Just thought I'd pass this on in case anyone else is having similar problems.
I found it through google and the web site is www.timestableclock.com
