Introducing Mnemonics

Crucial to the successful test taking by any student, is a group of memory techniques called mnemonics. The phrase, "Car, car, keys,license" is an acronym to help a person remember the eight memory techniques. They stand for chaining, acrostic, rhythm, chunking, acronym, rhyme, key words, and loci (location). The following letter "You will Remember" was written for a reading and study skills class to future students of that class to encourage and give tips aiding in memory recall. This piece was chosen partly because it was fun to write, partly because some reader might benefit from reading the tips contained within it, mostly because as a writing it contains smooth transitions. I refer to the next to the last paragraph that begins with, "To accomplish this..." Take a look, you just might find something that will help you with your next memory challenge.
