Mnemonics Competition Winner!

blog home

Do you remember our competition to look or clever devices to help remember how to spell the word ‘mnemonic’? The winner would receive a free annual subscription to Spellzone.

We had a go amongst ourselves, but not with very much success.

Here is one of our attempts:

Must Neither Eat Mouldy Oranges Nor Infested Cheese

Or how about:

Mum’s Nice Eggs Make Omelettes Not Including Cheese?

We seem to have a theme to our mnemonics…

Anyway – that’s enough from us. Without further ado, we are pleased to present our winning entry:

Using a mnemonic Means Never Ever Missing Odd Naughty & Incredible Chances to spell words correctly.

This wonderful memory device was submitted by Rosie, who is training to be a teacher.

Congratulations!

Here is what she has to say about Spellzone: “I am currently training to be an English teacher and start teaching this September. I am really excited about beginning my teaching career and thrilled that I'll have Spellzone to help me! I have heard great things about the resources and think that this will be a great tool for myself and my students. I can see myself incorporating this resource into many of my lessons to build strong vocabulary and spelling. Thanks for this - I will be well equipped when I enter the classroom!”

If you’re a teacher can start a free Spellzone trial for your school here.

"Thank goodness for Spellzone during this remote learning phase. The site is easy for students to navigate independently and they're really enjoying the activities and spelling games. You get an awful lot for your money with Spellzone. Really reassuring is the very prompt response with helpdesk queries. I've very rarely needed the helpdesk, but when I have, the issue has been addressed and sorted within a very short time."
