Science Mnemonic

Dyslexia Blog is now back in action after a few weeks . It was decided finally to lift the total ban on Blogger in Turkey. It seemed crazy to penalize everyone because of a few bloggers who had been showing football matches illegally !

Recently my child had to learn the moon phases in Science. I found a mnemonic to help him remember the sequences of the moon phases - "DOC"

D - Waxing moon - curve on the right.

O - After comes the full moon symbolised by a "O"

C - Waning moon - curve on the right .

In an earlier blog I have wrote about mnemonics.

Mnemonic Lists

In a previous dyslexia blog article I talked about how mnemonics can help dyslexic pupils in their studies. A mnemonic device is a memory aide that helps you to remember sets of information more easily.

I recently found some websites which list ready-made mnemonics for a number of different topics:

Here are their addresses :
