Using Acronyms to Remember Information
Forming an
acronym is a good strategy to use to remember
information in any order that can be remembered. An
acronym is a word that is formed from the first letter
of each fact to be remembered. It can be a real word or
a nonsense word you are able to pronounce.
Here is how to form an acronym.
·
Write the
facts you need to remember.
·
Underline
the first letter of each fact. If there is more than one
word in a fact, underline the first letter of only the
first word in the fact.
·
Arrange the
underlined letters to form an acronym that is a real
word or a nonsense word you can pronounce.
“HOMES” is an
example of an acronym that is a real word you can use to
remember the names of the five Great Lakes: Michigan,
Erie, Superior, Ontario, Huron: In HOMES,
H
is
the first letter of Huron and helps you remember that
name;
O
is the first
letter of Ontario, and so on.
“Telk” is an
acronym that can be used to remember the following
animals: tiger, lion, elephant, kangaroo. “Telk” is not
a real word, but you can easily pronounce it. You could
also have used “kelt” as an acronym. Notice that in this
example, you cannot form a real word using the first
letter of each fact to be remembered.
Sometimes two or more of the facts
you must remember each begin with the same first letter.
For example, the acronym “capp” can be used to remember
the following fruits: pear, apple, peach, cherry. You
can use the first letter “p” in the acronym to remember
either “pear” or “peach” and the second letter “p” to
remember the other.
Use the acronym strategy as a way
to remember information.
