Memory tip (Say it with a beat): Put the fact first, then end the line with a rhyming word: “Seven eights are fifty-six, learn it fast with little tricks.” Rhyming words share an ending sound: cake – lake – snake; night – kite – light; sun – run – one. Say it aloud with a beat, again and again, until it sings itself.
