| I just returned from Arkansas where I had the
opportunity to address the Arkansas Association of Continuing and Adult Education. While
at the conference, a teacher told me that she had attended a workshop that I did on
Spelling Mnemonics in New Orleans a number of years ago. On the drive back to Arkansas,
she and her colleagues were discussing the words that they had difficulty spelling.
She said that they came up with a mnemonic for spelling the word license, a word
that she said she could never remember how to spell. |

| Cindy Magness said that if you picture the word lice
with a lot of little lice jumping around on the word, it will remind you that you need a
nurse (n) to diagnose the conditions; then add the se. |

|
| lice + nurse + add se

Cindy owns and operates an educational resources store
in northern Arkansas.
Thank you, Cindy. |
