Memorization Strategies

Paired Associations: Good for remembering facts, terms, details and definitions

• Visual: Pair the term with a visual image.
  
  
• Linguistic: Pair the term or fact with another word that you can easily remember because you have a personal connection.
  
  
• Linguistic: Use the word itself to create connections - such as prefixes and suffixes and roots
  
  
• Linguistic: Use the first letter of the word to link it to the same first letter of a word that explains it.
  

• Linguistic: Compare or contrast the fact with something similar or different. 

• Linguistic: Play around with the term or fact by placing it into different categories. 

• Kinesthetic: Create a movement that will remind you of the term.
  
  
• Musical: Use music to help you remember the term. For instance, putting the terms into a song or using actual songs themselves such as the song Helplessly Hoping by Crosby Stills and Nash, which is an example of Alliteration in Poetry.

• Explain or summarize it or teach it to someone else.
  
  
• Be creative - use your strengths.
