Magical Spelling Mnemonics!

A mnemonic is a memory aid. The first letters of its words can remind you of the letters in a spelling. Read each clue carefully, then complete the activities.

Try a spelling clue

For the word “because”, use “Busy explorers can always use safely exploring.” The first letters spell B-E-C-A-U-S-E. A useful mnemonic gives you a memorable clue while keeping the letters in the right order.

1.Match each spelling word with the mnemonic whose first letters spell it.
  • necessary
  • friend
  • arithmetic
  • Fred Runs In Every New Day
  • Never Eat Crisps; Eat Salad Sandwiches And Remain Young
  • A Rat In The House May Eat The Ice Cream

Make your own mnemonic

Choose a tricky spelling and invent a memorable phrase. Check that the first letter of each word in your phrase matches the spelling, in order.

2.Choose one tricky word you want to remember. Write the word, then create a phrase whose first letters spell it.
3.Pick a different tricky spelling. Write the word and make a new phrase that helps you remember its letters in order.
4.Select one more tricky word. Write its spelling and invent a phrase to help you recall each letter from beginning to end.
5.Which kind of mnemonic is most likely to help you remember a spelling? Choose all that apply.
  • A phrase that is memorable and uses the letters in the right order
  • A very long phrase, even if its letters do not match the word
  • A phrase that is amusing but leaves out some letters
  • A phrase that makes sense to you and has the matching first letters
