| Though I am not a certified English teacher, I regularly use these basic premises of mnemonics: a) Visualize the word Pronounce each syllable as it appears. This step is the initial mnemonic link. b) Synthesize the word Pronounce the syllables as one word. Examples; business Seems to read as buss-ee-ness island Seems to read as iss-land and candle Seems to read as cand-lee But since we know the correct pronunciation, c) Utilize the word I own a candle making business. Candle making is none of your business. Island candle making is tough business. Using the word in different contexts is an essential part of memory saturation. |
