Age group(s) for which this strategy is helpful:
Elementary School
Middle School
High School & Beyond

Instructions for using this strategy:
1. Pick a tune that sticks in your mind and repeats, such as "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."

2. Take your facts, words, or numbers that need to be memorized and place them within the song in the exact order they need to be memorized in.

3. Have your child sing the song over and over until he/she can remember.

You can also make silly stories to remember facts as well!

Other information parents should consider:
Choosing different songs each time will help the student to remember the different subjects distinctly.

If your child may have a tendency to sing out loud for attention, this might not be the best strategy.
