Helping your child memorize lists for a test? A great way to help your child remember is by making a sentence with the first letters of the items in the list. For example, we teach kids to remember the order of operations (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction) with the sentence: Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally. Similarly, you can use "my very excited mother just served us nine pizzas" to remember the order of the planets (if you count Pluto as a planet.) Usually, things that are memorized this way will stick in your brain much longer. Hopefully, it should at least get your child through his test.
