Does your child struggle to remember shopping lists or sequences of steps?

The Peg System uses number rhymes as mental hooks. Abacus trains children to associate numbers with images.

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” new information on these pegs. The order is preserved by the number sequence.

🎯 Building Your Pegs

Number rhymes: 1=bun, 2=shoe, 3=tree, 4=door, 5=hive, 6=sticks, 7=heaven, 8=gate, 9=line, 10=hen. Practice: Memorise these pegs first. To remember a list: Create a vivid image combining the peg and the list item. Recall: Go through numbers 1‑10, see the peg, remember what you hung on it. Works for speeches, steps, shopping lists.

💡 A Parent’s Example

“My son used the peg system for his history dates. 1 (bun) with a picture of a king, 2 (shoe) with a battle scene. He aced his test.”

You might wonder, “How many pegs can I have?” Up to 20 or 30 with practice. Abacus helps with number‑image fluency.
