Oh awesome! Great little tips and tricks and so easy to implement. I could even use some of these

Also another spelling thing I still remember was when you need to make some words plural, it was drop the y and add ‘ies’

I learnt this when I was in year 1 and still remember the little song (for spelling):
When “i-n-g” come out to play little “e” runs away.

I don’t buT reading alot of the other comments I can say I have learnt heaps .. Thank you

Brilliant! I remember when I got to high school lots of other kids knew all these and I’d never been taught. My teens are now making up raps for the periodic table for science – great way to remember. I remember the planets from a Hi-5 song

I love clever tricks like this. I wish there was a book that had all these things in it. I would be engrossed and my poor children would be taught all of them.

Very clever!!

these are great tips…ones i will have to remember too!

I love these tricks! I still use them!

  I can’t remember the song but I go off the knuckles.
  The knuckles are 31 days then inbetween is 30 days (start on index finger)

I find my girls remember song lyrics really well and tunes. I should probably try changing the words so that they are singing something educational instead of the latest chart topping pop songs. Loved reading what other mums have suggested. Going to try a few out this weekend with my girls . thanks

Most of these are not ones that I learnt. I could use some of them myself now that the kids are starting school, like the planets one!

We were always taught ‘I before e except after c when the sound is ee’. You’ll find this does work. Think of science.

Wow so many memories reading this, remembering being taught a few of these.

I don’t remember a lot of them these days but I agree you need to make it fun for them to remember like ROY G BIV for the rainbow but I can never remember how the calender rhyme goes for what days have 31 etc LOL

This just gave me a flash back from school with all the tricks.

I remembered this one …how to spell rhythm = Rhythm Helps Your Two Hips Move

These will help my little preppy she will love it thank you

I remember a lot of these :), although for the rainbow I just said Roy G Biv.

This is a great way of remembering things, my daughter makes up lots of these for exams
