Mnemonics and similar. Thought it might be fun if we could add our favourites, might help a few on the way - X posted on primary thread:

DOES - do octopus eat sweets (or should that be octopi or something)

BECAUSE - big elephants can always understand small elephants.

NECESSARY - one collar two socks, never eat crisps eat salad sandwiches and remain young, not every cat eats sardines (some are really yummy)

RHYTHM - rhythm helps your two move

OCEAN - only cats eyes are narrow

CEMETERY - you say 'eee' when you go past one

TOGETHER - if you GET HER you'll be together

ACCOMMODATION - 2 caravans, 2 motels

PIece - PIEce of PIE

HEAR - you hear with your EAR

BELIEVE - there is a LIE you believe

ADDRESS - you add your address

Four, fourteen, but you can't be FORTY

FRIEND - FRI the end of your FRIEND

SEPARATE - is a rat of a word to spell, or always smell a rat with separate, or sepARATE (think of apart to remind yourself no e and the end)

DESSERT - SS - sweet stuff

WHERE, HERE, EVERYWHERE - place names have HERE in them

FEBRUARY - it's BR in England!

And planets distance from sun - MY VERY EASY METHOD: JUST SET UP 9 PLANETS

Anyone got any good suggestions? Especially for the simpler tricky words???

Wont really be of much use to youngsters, but has reminded me of a rhyme I made up whilst at Uni to help me to remember one of the facial muscles - Lovely Lucy Sucks A Nob (Levator Labii superioris Alaquae Nasii) See, still havent forgotten

An alternative to because - big elephants can't always use small exits!

Rhythm - I was taught by music teacher to say it as
R h y t h m Rhythm
Doesn't translate so well on paper, but basically say it with a beat.
Always stuck in my head.

THEIR: They left their money to their son and heir.
