How I taught my kids their phone number.
One of the very first things parents want their kids to know is their phone number. The problem is, many children have trouble memorizing and need extra help with the process. In fact, I have a very smart son who, when you ask him for an overview of a book he just read will give you tell you the whole story with all the details the book gave him. But, ask him to memorize numbers and you start to wonder if it is the same kid. It just isn’t going to happen.
Then, I found a solution…
I decided to try mnemonics with the phone numbers. The trick is, you can’t use the same techniques we use to train adults. It has to be simple, and make sense. There are several possibilities. Some mnemonic techniques use rhymes. Others associate the shape of the letter with an object. I decided to use the shape method.
