Does your child need to remember a shopping list or a sequence of steps?

The Peg System uses pre‑memorised images for numbers 1-10. Then you “hang” list items on those pegs. Abacus builds the visualisation skill.

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

🧩 How the Peg System Works

You memorise 10 images that look like the numbers 1-10. Then you connect new information to those images. The number order automatically organises your list.

🎯 Using the Peg System

Memorise the 10 pegs: 1=candle, 2=swan, 3=butterfly, 4=sailboat, 5=hook, 6=elephant, 7=cliff, 8=snowman, 9=balloon, 10=bat. Create images: For a grocery list: eggs (1) balanced on a candle, milk (2) poured over a swan, bread (3) flying with a butterfly. Recall in order: Walk through 1-10, see the images, translate back to the item.

💡 A Parent’s Success

“My son used the peg system for his school presentation. He had 7 points. He placed each point on a peg. He didn’t use notes and remembered everything. Abacus taught him to visualise.”

You might wonder, “Can I make my own pegs?” Yes — use what works for your child. The standard pegs work well.
