Any ideas for that age? We've done some of the basic lessons on chess.com about how the pieces move, but I'm not sure it's sinking in for him. We're at the extreme basics like having him remember how all the pieces move and we are no where near things like check, checkmate, promotion, etc.
I would watch this guy with your son.

You can sort his videos from oldest to newest, and just go through lessons. His first lessons touch the very basic(piece placement, piece movement, etc.). Admittedly, I never watched those. His lessons helped me when I started to get deeper into the Pirc. He goes very slowly at first, but each lesson is an excellent step to getting better, and learning some of the patterns.
