At school they had study guides for 2 weeks at school. I'm not sure exactly what they did but it helped. DS's teacher has the students do some highlighting and circling with a red pen for key information. For Social studies and Science the teacher has the students use different colors to mark information in the text and correlating diagrams.
I also have been telling DS he really needs to show what he knows to encourage the school to give him challenges. I don't like saying this. It feels like pressure and the wrong motivation. But it is the reality. I do also say it feels good to do your best effort.
It seems like there should be some library books about this. If I ever find some I try to post. good luck.
