Thank you! I have used the timer myself (and he does at times for other tasks), so that should be helpful. I like your idea of collecting data... good approach if I can get him to do more writing things down. ;-)
We seem to still be in "catch up" mode... he didn't go to the upper classes the first few days and got some of the info later. I'm hoping we can get him on a better track soon. He also seems to just be a bit off as far as math, perhaps just summer slump. (It's normally his top subject but he's looking at story problems like he has no clue what to do. Sigh.)
