I agree with Dandy about the homework thread. To summarize my point there: give specific concrete suggestions for which details he needs to check.

It's hard to act on the instruction to pay attention to details when you can't see the forest for the trees. I give specific advice (no more than 2-3 points to avoid overwhelming my child), as in:


"The FIRST thing you need to do is..."


"The LAST thing you need to do is..."
