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.

missceegeeParticipantWe 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.
labellavitaParticipantI 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.”
MistyParticipantFor 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.
