The same as you would for an easly distracted girl, I guess.
Small, bitesize, small rewards (don't have to be expensive - could be 30 minutes on his favourite computer game, or a pudding after dinner etc) Reward effort not necessarily results. Short periods where he can concentrate better than long periods where he will faff.
I love the idea of a food reward. You'd get mine studying all night
My experience of working children with a short attention span is to have small manageable tasks: 10 minutes VR, 10 mins vocabulary work, 10 mins on a single maths topic etc. Start and finish with a game. e.g. Triomnos,Yahtzee,dominoes,Uno. Great for relaxing children and building fun into studying
