INTRODUCTION
No single mental ability is more important to personal success than a
powerful memory.
While most adults and children have the capacity for phenomenal
memory, few ever know the simple secrets of harnessing this amazing
ability.
Learning the techniques in MEMORY LANGUAGE and practising
often is the key to powerful memory recall.
This book is written in a simple, easy-to-read style and the cartoon
format and humorous stories will enable everyone to learn while being
amused and entertained. It will teach both children and adults the
valuable skill of imagery. You should be able to master the basic
technique in less than an hour—the average adult reader can do it in
48 minutes!
AT THE END OF THIS BOOK YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT
THE RECALL ABILITY THAT YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN
HAVE DEVELOPED.
To get the best out of this book follow these simple guidelines:
• It is important that each reader knows the nursery rhyme song in the
book. If you don't know it, turn to page 35 and practise it before you
begin the story.
• The story is about two children who are asked to take a trip to the
shops and remember a list often items. In reality, you would not ask
young children to remember such a large list and the average adult
would have difficulty remembering half this number of items. But in
this book it is an essential part of the story to teach the lessons.
• We will be asking the readers to clearly visualise a number of
images known as Memory Pegs. Each person may imagine a different
version of them. For example, if you ask eight-year-olds to visualise
a shoe one child may think of a ballet shoe, another might see a football
boot and an adult could picture a sneaker. It is important to let each
reader have his or her own version of the Memory Peg because
personalisation makes recall easier.
• This is a participation book so get everyone involved. When the
children in the story begin to visualise their Grandfather's instructions,
stop the story and you and your children do the same exercise. Study
each illustration and ask everyone to comment on it. Then ask them to
recall the item they think belongs to that page.
And when you've all mastered the skills, let the kids use the book
as a colouring book. Most of all, have a good time.
