Does your child struggle to remember ordered lists like the periodic table or steps in a process?

The Peg System attaches each item to a number‑image. Abacus trains the visual memory needed.

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

🧩 How the Peg System Works

You create a permanent set of images for numbers 1‑10 (or 1‑20). Then you “hang” each list item on the corresponding peg. Abacus mental imagery makes this easy.

🎯 Building Your Peg Set

Rhyming pegs: 1‑gun, 2‑shoe, 3‑tree, 4‑door, 5‑hive, 6‑sticks, 7‑heaven, 8‑gate, 9‑line, 10‑hen. Shape pegs: 1‑candle, 2‑swan, 3‑heart, 4‑sailboat, 5‑hook, 6‑pipe, 7‑cliff, 8‑snowman, 9‑balloon, 10‑baseball. Practice: Memorise 10 pegs. Then to remember a shopping list: 1‑milk (imagine a milk carton shooting from a gun), 2‑eggs (eggs in a shoe), etc.

💡 A Parent’s Example

“My son used rhyming pegs for his spelling words. 1‑’because’ (gun firing the word), 2‑’friend’ (shoe with friend written on it). His spelling test scores improved dramatically.”

You might wonder, “Does this work for longer lists?” Yes — create pegs for numbers 1‑50. World memory champions use this technique.
