cool sayings

Have you ever heard of the word mnemonic device? Well, a mnemonic device is a special trick that helps students learn and remember some information. You might have seen some mnemonic devices before. Have you seen ROYGBV? This is a great mnemonic device that helps people remember the colors of the rainbow: Red (R), Orange (O), Yellow (Y), Green (G), Blue (B), and Violet (V). Here are a few mnemonic devices that can help you in school to remember some facts. You can make up others to help you with anything!

Can you remember the directions in order? Try this:
Never Eat Soggy Wheat!
North, East, South, West (clockwise)

Never (North)
Wheat (West) Eat (East)
Soggy (South)

Here's a great saying that helps you to remember the number of days in each month!

Hold up two fists together. Start with your first knuckle (January), and say the months in order to December. If you land on your knuckle, that month has 31 days. If you land in between knuckles, it has 30 days (besides February, which has 28 or 29).

Now you try to make up your own mnemonic device! Maybe it will help you in your next school test!
