What is a Pegword?

• Pegword is a subtype of Chain.
• It is a simple way of remebering lists of itmes in a specific order
• The facts, or words, are 'pegged' to known sequences of cues

How Does Pegword Technique Work?

• First it is necessary to memorize ten or more pairs each consisting of a number (1 - 10 or more).

• Then a high-imagery word which rhymes with the number.

• This works by helping you build pictures in your mind.

• These are linked to images that represent the things to be remembered.
