Hi Learningmom,

It's great that your son is working through the material and enjoying himself. Have you tried having him work on a self-guided project? You could present him with several learning style options (create a short film/commercial, design a game, write a poem/song, etc.) and have him select a topic from his studies. You could give him a mini rubric so that he knows what to include in the project. He could work on the project for 1-2 weeks and present it to family and/or friends. This would also give him an opportunity to create a portfolio.

Good luck!
