Then I see how much of it I can say without looking at the paper. Then keep repeating this and you will memorize it. [ XoKisSesoX's advice column | Ask XoKisSesoX A Question ]
TiCkLeD_pInK540 answered Friday February 25 2005, 8:42 pm: Ok, read one sentence, then memorize it. Then repeat it to yourself. Then learn the next sentence and memorize it. Then repeat it from the beguining. So you gradually add on one sentence at a time. Like if the phrase was. "the cat was fat. then a dog walked by. Then the dog sat on the mat with the fat cat. Then the story ends. The End" Read the first line, which is "The cat is fat." so memorize that, then repeat it to yourself. then memorize the second line. "then a dog walked by." then, instead of jus repeating that sentence again. repeat the whole thing. say "the cat is fat. then the dog walked by." like that. it may sound confusing but once you understand it it's a piece of cake. it really helps me when i have to memorize stuff. so good luck! i hope you do well!
Always,

Karen answered Friday February 25 2005, 8:23 pm: To memorize this page, you need to start off by memorizing a few parts and then moving on, remembering another part and put both parts together and so on. Just go over it and over it and make it into a song, just like the other columnist below me mentioned. Those two ways do work.
