Some Helpful Tips
There are three secrets to being successful
in Scripture memory: (1) Review; (2) Review; and (3)
Review. Chris Adsit
Read the verse through several times thoughtfully
aloud.
Using natural phrases, learn the topic, reference,
first phrase and so on
Write out the verse as part of the learning process.
Review the verses frequently throughout the week.
A good goal is 23 verses per week.
Use a system like the following one to keep track
of your memory verses. Start by working on a verse
once a day for seven weeks. Then you will want
to continue to review that verse once a week for
seven months.
