Hi! I am a language arts teacher and without knowing the exact situation I would try to make sure that you are attenpting to cover these topics with al three learning styles (most of us learn by combination) auditory, visual, and hands-on. The computer can help as it covers two of these, but also a lot of verbal praise and understanding. After all, most adults have trouble with these topics to some degree. Also many children I have worked with have made massive gains after the skills were put into perspective (WHY do I have to improve this or learn this?). MY BF is a librarian and also suggests finding books that interest the child at the proper reading level so not to discourage or prevent progress. The key is to have them read a page and if they find more than two words they need help with it's too hard, no words, it's too easy. I can send links to free lessons online that we use. Some of our students have improved their reading levels by 6 grades in 5 months by the proper focus, and attention and learning style. Hope that was helpful in some way! Good luck~
