have word games to teach you how to spell as a kid? kinda like;
arithmetic= a red indian thought he might eat turkey in church
geography= george eats old gray rats and paints houses yellow
for some reason it was easier for me to remember a sentence than the spelling of the word lol
what are some of the things that made learning easier for you??

I remember something in music about learning the notes EGBDF: "Every Good Boy Does Fine". Also Schoolhouse Rock during Saturday morning cartoons. I can't say the preamble to the Constitution without singing it.0

I liked the one in Roald Dahl's Matilda:
"Mrs D Mrs I Mrs F F I, Mrs C Mrs U Mrs L T Y. That spells difficulty!"
Always remembered that.

I never used it for spelling per say but, I did use it for the music notes. EGDF, "every good boy deserves favor" and FACE. I also remember using PEMDAS otherwise know as "please excuse my dear aunt sally" for the order of operations in equations.0

necessary - never eat cakes eat salad sandwiches and remain young ...
FACE and EGBDF (every good boy deserves fruit) for reading music
GDAE great dames always eat - strings on a violin
also SOHCATOA (silly old hitler can't advance troops over alps) was for a trig thing in Math class - remember the saying but not how to use (never was a Math girl) :laugh:0 -
because - big elephants can't always use small exits (year 2..my fave teacher) :bigsmile:
music : face and every good boy deserves fudge0 -
No, but that's only because for me it was easier to remember how to spell the words0

Mnemonics are fun.0

I just want something that helps people remember the difference between 'lose' and 'loose' as those words are COMPLETELY different. Drives me batty.0

I did the music ones (FACE and EGBDF) though we said Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge. I've grown up with a lot of them (my mom was a remedial reading teacher), but I think my favorite mnemonic is Kings Play Chess On Funny Green Squares as a way to remember the order of biological classification (kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species).0
