Thirty Days Has September: Cool Ways to Remember Stuff

New item in the library: Thirty Days Has September: Cool Ways to Remember Stuff
Written by Chris Stevens, Illustrated by Sarah Horne

If you've ever had trouble remembering how to spell Mississippi, how to figure out Roman numerals, whether to use effective or affective, the points of the compass, or your multiplaction tables, you'll love this book that is full of handy devices to help you remember.
Using mnemonic devices, acronyms, fun phrases, poems, and pictures, this book covers hard to remember tidbits relating to English, History, Geography, Math, and Science. Students can find ways to remember those tricky words or grammar rules, Teachers can find devices to help reinforce something they're teaching in class. Be sure to check it out!
One of my favourites is on how to spell library: "Living In Books Really Aids Reading Years."
