  Flash cards work well, but he has to use them regularly. Regularly means several times a day. Then, when mastered, you have to review spaced over time. You need to establish a positive reinforcement program also.

  Making silly rhymes like the old "Columbus sailed the ocean blue in fourteen hundred and ninety two". is a huge help. He will enjoy the fun of a dumb rhyme and that will help him remember.
