Citation of lyrics brings not only aesthetic pleasure to the reader and his listeners, but also perfectly develops memory. This fact applies equally to preschool children and adults suffering from forgetfulness. How to turn the process of memorizing a poem from meaningless cramming into an enjoyable and rewarding activity?
Instructions
Step 1
Unlike prose, poetry is much easier to learn because of its rhythm. First read the entire text 3-4 times, even if it is very long. Memorize a poem not line by line, but line by line. This provides logical clues when moving on to subsequent parts of the work. The endless cramming of the same line is likely to overwhelm the reader when he tries to reproduce the poem from memory.
Step 2
Since short-term memory perceives information in blocks, it is better to break the whole poem into several parts. According to the information of the electronic resource "Azbuka 45", there should be no more than 7 such parts. Memorize the last word of the previous stanza and the first word of the next one. These will be your cheat sheets, with the help of which you will unwind the whole tangle of poetic rhymes.
Step 3
Read expressively, think about what you say, visualize. Try to draw as clearly as possible in your mind all the images, actions and behavior of the heroes. Try to show the mood of the poem with your voice, facial expressions. This gives more efficient results than repeating the same line monotonously.
Step 4
Due to individual characteristics, someone memorizes poetry better by ear, someone - when he reads himself. Someone needs to walk around the room to the beat of the lines, and someone needs to sit still. Some people find it easier to learn a poem in pairs, many prefer to memorize alone. It is easier for someone to teach for the coming sleep, for someone in the morning. Choose the most acceptable method for yourself, using each of them, and take it into service in the future.
