The document describes three memory strategies: keyword, which uses familiar words that sound similar to new concepts; pegword, which uses rhyming words to represent numbers; and letter, which uses acronyms and acrostics where the first letters correspond to information to remember. These strategies are meant to help students link new information to something familiar and provide visual images or cues to aid in recall through the use of illustrations, rhymes, or pronounceable words formed from phrases. Teachers must model the strategies and use them repeatedly with students until they can apply them independently.
