This book was written in response to the enormous interest in mnemonic instruction by teachers and administrators. It focuses on how to teach students mnemonic techniques for acquiring basic skills, concepts, facts, and systems of facts -- what mnemonic instruction facilitates most.Section 1 explains major mnemonic techniques and the applications for which they are best suited. Section 2 demonstrates applications in specific subject areas -- social studies, science, mathematics and reading -- indicating the suitable mnemonic techniques for tasks within each area, with a sample lesson applying each strategy, since the best way to learn about mnemonic instruction is to practice the techniques.Mastropieri, Margo A. is the author of 'Teaching Students Ways to Remember Strategies for Learning Mnemonically', published 1991 under ISBN 9780914797678 and ISBN 0914797670.
