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.
Henry, Paula and Millie write for the school newspaper. They have written
the short articles below to help students improve their memory.
