Does your child forget the order of a sequence — steps, events, or lists?

The Link Method connects items in a chain of vivid, interacting images. Abacus trains the creative visualisation to build links.

Here’s the promise: You’ll learn how to remember any sequence in perfect order.

🧩 What is the Link Method?

It’s a memory technique where you create a mental chain of images, each one interacting with the next. The bizarre and active the interaction, the stronger the link.

🎯 How to Use the Link Method

Step 1: Create a vivid image of the first item. Step 2: Connect first to second with an action (make it bizarre, funny, or violent). Step 3: Connect second to third, and so on. Step 4: To recall, run the movie in your mind. For abacus: Link bead movements to story steps.

💡 A Parent’s Example

“My son used the link method for the water cycle: evaporation → condensation → precipitation → collection. He imagined a puddle (evaporation) turning into a cloud (condensation) that poured rain (precipitation) into a bucket (collection). He never forgot the order.”

You might wonder, “What if my child can’t think of bizarre images?” Start with normal interactions, then exaggerate. Abacus imagination training helps.
