|
| Some individuals who have difficulty
distinguishing items that are similar find it difficult to
remember how to read or spell these five
words: big, bag, bug, bog and beg. |
|
|
|
| The Mnemonic |
|
| By drawing an arrow on the i in big |
| The arrow pointing up reminds the person
that this word is big. |
|
|
|
|
| To remember the differences between bag
and bug a string or story will do. |
|
|
|
| "How about if we
go on a picnic and have a little lunch.
We will need
something to put the lunch
in. A bag will do because we can close it to keep out the bugs."
The a in bag is a closed letter when the u in bug is an open
letter. |
