Describing words Chapter 5

Slide 1 - Slide

Remembering words


The two most important factors in remembering words are elaboration – thinking deeply about the word, and repetition – saying the word many times. 

Slide 2 - Slide

Elaborate & Repetition
When you think deeply about the word, you study its meaning, the words that are associated with it, the parts of the word, and you connect the word with an image, smell, event, or something else in the real world. When you repeat the word, you read it, say it, write it down, or listen to it again and again. This helps keep it in your mind.
