What best methods do you use to memorize a poem in your home? I have Sonya’s system for Scripture memory and am wondering if I just do the same thing for a poem. Do any of you do that?
In the past I’ve just read aloud, but this year I want them to memorize some. Do you pick a monthly one, weekly one or what?
I’d love to hear your ideas.

We just put our poems in the memorization box, too. We do a poet every 6 weeks and memorize a poem from each poet. Each child chooses their own poem.
I have been putting poems in our memory box too. No rhyme or reasons to the poems I’ve picked, just poems that I thought were beautiful.
But what I have started doing was picking some separate poems, some girlish ones for my DD, and some boyish ones for my DS, with character qualities and such that I hope to impart in each of them, so they now have their own poems. I have not gotten very far w/ this idea yet so I do not have a bunch of poems, but am hoping to add to our “collection.”
For us we just assign a poem to memorize 2 times a year. They are not short ones they are lengthy depending on the age of the child. Then they get a copy of it laminated and everyday they read it to themselves and once a week they are to try and recite what they know aloud to the family. Then I will say like the 1st poem has to memorized by say Christmas and the next by the end of the year. To us the bible memory is more imporant and I have one that has a VERY tough time memorizing so it cut the pressure to get it all right away. anyway this is what we do. And it has worked for us.
