Get the Schoolhouse Rocks video. They put the multiplication tables to cartoons with songs. They helped my daughter along with the second suggestion in the next paragraph from a teacher. I am 52 and grew up with the Schoolhouse Rocks songs and can STILL sing most of them!
A second suggestion is flashcards. A math teacher told me to use all of the ones my daughter knew and add in a few at a time that she didn't know and go through them until she knew the new ones. Some kids just couldn't retain all of the unfamiliar ones at once. Of course, this second suggestion only works if her dyslexia allows her to visually process the individual times table flashcard info. My daughter still didn't know her times tables at the end of 5th grade, so I asked a former secondary math teacher who had been teaching 4th grade for about 10 years. My daughter has an emotional developmental delay of about 2 1/2 years, but is of normal intelligence, (but VERY LAZY when it comes to school work of any type.)
