To quickly and easily learn a poem, you need to determine which type of memory you have is most developed - visual or auditory. Depending on this, the method of memorizing poetry is chosen.
Instructions
Step 1
Determine which type of memory is most developed for you. If you are good at remembering faces and remember what the pages in your primer looked like, then you are a visual. That is, you have a developed visual memory. If, remembering acquaintances, you first of all imagine their voice, and only then a picture appears, then you have a developed auditory memory. Pure audials or visuals are extremely rare. So don't limit yourself to just one way of memorizing, mix them up.
Step 2
If your auditory memory is better than your visual memory, start memorizing by reading aloud. You can record your voice on a dictaphone or ask a friend to read the lines you need. Listen to the sound of the voice several times.
Step 3
It is better for the visual to scan the text several times, as if to “photograph” it. And in the process of memorizing, mentally imagine this page. You can rewrite a poem on a sheet of paper, and motor memory will also be connected. After that, it is important to learn the poem from this sheet you wrote, to memorize how the letters and individual words look.
Step 4
It is most effective to memorize a poem using the "pyramid method", ie. gradually increase the size of the memorized with the repetition of the higher lines. For example, first read the first line, then repeat it out loud from memory. Then you read the second line and say it along with the first. Then you read the third and repeat from memory together with the first and second.
Step 5
Try to learn the poem not mechanically, but thinking about the meaning of the lines. You can also connect emotional or figurative-sensory memory. To do this, each line or paragraph must be imprinted in your memory in the form of some kind of image. Or evoke a certain emotion in you.
Step 6
At the end of memorization, reread the poem again. Pay attention to whether you have learned the form and timing of the words correctly.
