How does Henry remember things
Henry
A great way to help you remember something is to imagine a picture of it in your mind. If you make the picture big, strange or silly, you will remember it better. For example, to remember the word “smiles”, we can imagine there is a “mile” between the first letter and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the world. Remember: a picture is worth a thousand words.

Why is it better to remember if we make the picture big, strange or silly
What does Henry mean by saying “a picture is worth a thousand words”
That's because unusual and special things are easier to remember.
He means pictures can be much more helpful than words.
Paula
A good method for remembering the spelling of a word is to make a short sentence with each letter of the word. For example, if you want to remember how to spell the word “because”, you can use the sentence “Big elephants can always understand small elephants”.
