Teachers are always looking for ways to make learning fun and easy. You can do this as a parent and. Teachers try to do this in many ways and we love to share ideas that work with parents and classmates. Every little bit of help you, as a parent, can give your child before they enter school gives your child a chance to succeed in school. We will often try to make our school bright and festive by using various motivational and instructional posters. You can print motivational quotes by yourself and brighten up your teen’s room with food for thought. One poster used by many teachers is the main teaching. The poster says, “Tell me, I forget, show me, I remember, Involve me, I understand.”
Memory skills abound for students and teachers; I’m sure I remember some jokes or mnemonics from from your memorable days. Whenever there is something to remember, there a memory aid can be used. You’ll find applicable memory aids for every discipline from music, medicine, biology, electronics, spelling, physics, geography, phone number memory and shopping! Mnemonics work best when they connect new information with prior knowledge through visual and/or auditory use of the learner.
If your child has trouble remembering things, then he will likely struggle in school settings. The school teacher has a lot of information to offer and only a limited amount of time to work. Add in behavior and remedial measures for distractions and your child may expect to wait and get help. I strongly believe that the primary way you can help your child survive and thrive in school is by taking an active role in the beginning and throughout the course of your child’s education. As a parent, you have two choices, which you cook to allow your child only in the educational systems that have failed until now, it seems; Or, engage your child in strategies that make learning fun and easy. Any of these mnemonic techniques will work depending on the material. It all comes down to helping you find the best teaching for your son or daughter.
I have already shown you one that will help your child remember the seven colors of the rainbow: Roy G. Biv. Remembering a person’s name can help your child remember Red, Gold, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indian, and Blue. There are many, many more memory/teaching skills just waiting to be tested to make learning easier for your child. Let’s go over a few classic examples that you’ve probably heard before.
Great lake: HOME
Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Lake Michigan, and Lake Erie.
For fire safety, we learned:
Forbid! I lie down! Roll!
The months of the fast year;
September has 30 days;

All the rest have thirty-one
Except for February alone:
Which has twenty-eight;
Until the leap year it gives twenty-nine.
For predictions of the weather;
The sailors rejoice in the crimson sky at night; the sky is red in the morning, the sailors warn.
For summer is safety in the yard;
Three leaves: let it be.
And some (king and coral) snakes;
Red on Yellow will kill the man, Red on Black is Jack’s friend
For scientific findings:
LASER: light amplification by stimulated radial emission
SCUBA: Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.
Starting music-lessons :
Learn the notes in the triple split going from the bottom to the top
EGBDF: Every good boy does well
For the marks represent the spaces from the bottom to the top.
FACE: Fine Artists Envy Empire
For us, the bi-annual clock prepares a justification for light and light Savings Time:
Spring Forward, Fall Back
For Math:
Dear Aunt Sally, multiply and divide before adding or subtracting
For Roman Numerals:
I Vant X-rays and Lucy not drinking milk
1, 5, 10 (1, 5, 10) & L, C, D, M (L, C, D and M);
Multiplication:
Less time is less time, the reason for which is not to argue.
For biology:
King Phillip went to the special genera: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Genus, and Species.
Aids are also used as memory aids for learners and should be used whenever they are useful. The younger you begin to have a child’s familiarity with such memory and technical aids, the more natural their use becomes, and often the student will adapt these skills to increase their personal value. Mnemonic techniques are varied and can be applied to all areas of study. Experimentation will be necessary to find the most appropriate technique for your child.
Acronyms are formed by using each first letter from a group of words to form a new word to express an idea. Team: Together Everyone Plus one example. This technique can be very useful when you need to remember a certain order of words. This technique is great for remembering things, but it doesn’t help with comprehension.
Acrostic sentences are similar to acronyms but instead of a word that is easier to remember, remember the first letter of what you need to make a sentence. We can use our home planet of the solar system as an example here. Our planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto can be made into an acrostic: My mother raised, just sent us nine pizzas. What kid doesn’t like a good pizza! And, of course, our blue planet is always “a third stone from the sun”.
This acrostic memory is a good aid for remembering things in a certain order. Your memory doesn’t have the meaning of helping your sentence, in fact some of the wall sentences make difficult or long lists easier. Children can make acrostic names of users family, friends or relatives to make the list easier to remember.
Rhymes are a great way for younger children to remember new information. Rhymes can be set to music, using notes or pleasant melodies, or recited as a poem. The Alphabet Song is a common example of a rhyming song used to teach the basic function of identification and sequencing.
There are other mnemonic aids, but these three are the most common and most suitable for young learners. It is ridiculous, if the thing demands it; the point is to get the young learner to recall the information, not how the information sounds or looks. These resources can help your child thrive in school by giving him a sharp edge when the early days of the Alphabet Song are sung at bedtime.
