How to Remember Everything: Grades 9-12 teaches high school students HOW to learn. Instead of providing them with long lists of information, we teach students memory tricks and techniques for learning large amounts of information quickly and easily–so that students can remember that information for years to come. Rote memorization doesn’t result in long-term memory retention–but creative learning does. Teachers and students can use these mnemonic devices to produce both short-term and long-term memory. Designed in full-color with illustrations throughout, this incredible learning resource is also easy to use and highly accessible. Includes more than 200 clever mnemonics for English, Social Studies, Math and Science.
