What Is a Mnemonic?
A MNEMONIC (say: neh-MON-ik) is a trick that helps you remember things. It is like a cheat code for your brain!
One type of mnemonic is a SILLY SENTENCE where the first letter of each word matches the first letter of what you need to remember.
Example — the planets in order: My Very Excited Mother Just Served Us Nachos
M = Mercury, V = Venus, E = Earth, M = Mars, J = Jupiter, S = Saturn, U = Uranus, N = Neptune
The sillier the sentence, the easier it is to remember!
