She has dyslexia and now I suspect she could have dyscalculia as well. She struggles with memorizing and automaticity so I'm thinking if there was a video or song to help her memorize her tables it might help her. Has anybody heard of anything like this?

The reason I shared this is that this or similar songs might help other perceptual kids to visualize while they are memorizing.

Leap Frog's Math Factory might help also...my son loved the Leap Frog reading series...he would run around singing "when two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking!". I'm also a fan of making up my own songs as a mnemonic device. It's how I memorized the Gettysburg Address when I was s kid.

These links may help as well: http://www.mathmammoth.com/multiplication_1.php (Apparently this Math Mammoth curriculum has been useful for many children, though I don't own it and haven't used it. I have seen this technique of beginning and ending practice sessions by skip-counting up and down mentioned elsewhere, and in general I like what I've seen of Math Mammoth on youtube and elsewhere when it comes to developing skill proficiency.) http://letsplaymath.net/2011/08/30/how-to-conquer-the-times-table-part-1/ (one in a series) http://watchknowlearn.org/SearchResults.aspx?SearchText=times+tables http://watchknowlearn.org/SearchResults.aspx?SearchText=multiplication Striving to increase my rate of flow, and fight forum gloopiness.
