AWANA - I record their individual verses on my LG flip phone, which has better sound quality than our Kindle, and during the day they take turns listening to their verses with headphones. After about three days of this, they can usually recite the verses well with the references. Paul prefers studying on his own, as oral listening isn't as beneficial for him.
Note on difficult circumstances: I have one son with severe OCD, and another with mild/moderate OCD, so we try to stick with the basics as much as possible. You never know when mental illness will steal time from you.
