MEMORY STRATEGIES
STRATEGY 1. CHUNKING
 It is easier to memorize information when you
break it up into small chunks. This is called
chunking. You use chunking often, like when
you memorize your friend's telephone number.
STRATEGY 2. UNDERSTANDING
 Before you begin trying to memorize something,
try to understand it. A good way to do this is by
making a connection between what you are
learning and what you have experienced.
STRATEGY 3. GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS
 These tools help you see things you are trying
to learn. They help organize information.
STRATEGY 4. VISUALIZATION
 To visualize means to see an image in your
head without actually looking at it.
 If you have trouble visualizing material, try
drawing maps, charts, graphs, or pictures.
STRATEGY 5. ASSOCIATION
 Another learning strategy is to associate, or
"connect," each word or event with a person,
place, thing, feeling, or situation.
STRATEGY 6. RHYMING
 Rhyming can be an important technique to help
us remember things. We all used rhyming in the
ABC song to learn the alphabet.
STRATEGY 7. TALKING
 Just talk about the information you have to
learn. Do you want to learn history? Then talk
history: discuss, debate, argue.
STRATEGY 8. STORYTELLING
 Storytelling is a great way to help you
remember information in any subject. Write a
story by focusing on the key points of what
you're learning and arranging them in a logical
sequence.
STRATEGY 9. WRITING SENTENCES
 This strategy can even help us learn those extra
troublesome spelling words. Just make up a
sentence using words that begin with the
letters.
STRATEGY 10. ACRONYMS
 An acronym is a word made up from the first
letters of a list of words.
STRATEGY 11. REHEARSING
 When you want to remember information, you
have to practice it, or else it fades. Practice
carries the skill from the STM (short-term
memory) to LTM (long-term memory)
establishing a memory trace.
 Repetition helps the brain to form a stronger
connection related to that piece of information.
STRATEGY 12. PLAYING GAMES
 Playing games is a great way to memorize
information. You see, as you play the game you
are learning the material and practicing it over
and over again.
STRATEGY 13. THE METHOD OF LOCI
 It is the oldest known mnemonic strategy ("loci"
is the plural of locus, which means location, or
place). It's based on the assumption that you
can best remember places that you are familiar
with, so if you can link something you need to
remember with a place that you know very well.
STRATEGY 14. HEALTHY BODY - SHARP MIND
 To have a sharp mind to study and do the
memorisation that you need to do, you should
eat healthily, exercise,have a physically fit body,
enough sleep, relieve stress, have fun and
relax.
