Memorization

[JessaMae]

I've been reading a thread that lists all the things their grammar stage children have memorized. But now I'm wondering HOW do you help your kids memorize these lists? What's your strategy? :)

Have them listen to it three times in a row, three times the first day, two times the next, then once a day. Eventually, they will say it while they hear it, and then they say it on their own.

We work on our memory work every morning right after we do Bible. They read it the first day, try to say it beginning the second, and so on. It is amazing how fast they can get things memorized. I use a review system, kind of like the Bible one at simplycharlottemason.com, to make sure they review older memory work on a regular basis.

We use the memory box system from Simply Charlotte Mason. Every kid has their own box, even the 4yo.

Thanks so much for posting this. I have been feeling really bad since I decided that dh and I would memorize together with dd5, because she is memorizing way faster than we are (and I am the slowest). I really appreciated the guidance at this site.
