Does your child struggle to remember lists in order (shopping, steps, sequences)?

The Link Method connects items using vivid images in a story. Abacus trains the sequential thinking needed.

Here’s the promise: You’ll learn how to remember any sequence by turning it into a story.

🧩 How the Link Method Works

Take each item and create a vivid mental image. Link each image to the next with an action. To recall, start with the first image and follow the chain.

🎯 Practicing the Link Method

For shopping lists: Milk, eggs, bread, apples. Imagine milk splashing onto an egg, the egg cracking into bread dough, bread dough wrapping around an apple. For history dates: Link events with images. For steps in a process: Link each step. Start with 3 items, increase to 10. Abacus sequence training helps.

💡 A Parent’s Example

“My son couldn’t remember the order of planets. We linked: Mercury (winged shoes) flies into Venus (beauty mirror), which crashes into Earth (globe), which rolls into Mars (red robot). He learned it in one evening.”

You might wonder, “Does this work for abstract concepts?” Turn them into concrete images (e.g., “justice” as a judge’s gavel).
