Then, link the word you want to memorize to the “number” on the Sun List. This is very good for memorizing information that comes out of order.

The “P” is place and applied to a unique characteristic for the person and you can do this before ever talking with them. Ask, “what pops for you?” For example, someone might have bright blue eyes so that pops for you. You call that person Miss Blue Eyes. Then to apply the “I” in P.I.E., when you hear her name, Juila, you imagine jewels. Then to apply the “E” in P.I.E., you picture the jewels in her eyes.
