Any suggestions of methods? I'm using various sensory methods to help him remember things like third person singular 's' - ie: writing s in the air as he says the sentence and determines the form, or writing in beans, or forming a pipecleaner into an s, but these are all a bit baby-ish for him. Also lots of repetition, movement. Would love to hear any ideas. He is a German speaker learning English, has had it 4 years in school, can understand well and read, speaks with courage and reasonable vocabulary, but with little grammatical awareness, and can't write his way out of a paper bag. Thanks for any assistance!
