Easy learning by associating with acronyms

rayhaan · May 15, 2011

Hi I’lites,

Do you all remember we used to relate some acronyms that we form on our own for remembering few things in our books easily?

There is one such thing for remembering the order of PLANETS. Want to teach my child the same thing…I’ am not able to recollect.

Ladies please share the same thing here if any one knows it. Not just the order of planets, anything that we learnt easily with acronyms. Let us pass it on to our children too…:yes::thumbsup
