RF> Yes, Jeremy is eight.  His ADHD is showing up really bad and he forget 
which

he
RF> know what they are when he sees them.  He says his brain gets confused 
when

and

        Just slow down, be patent, and keep going over things in different
  ways, and in small doses.  Remember that repetition is NOT the ADD kid's
  friend.
        Maybe a word picture with the word bed?  So that he can associate the
 'b' with the headboard, and the 'd' with the foot board.
