How Do I Memorize Verses?

1. You must desire it with all your heart, and be willing to make the commitment that it takes to get the job done.
2. Repetition is important in learning. Somehow you must devise a system whereby you are able to review your verses on a daily basis. This is not something that will end after the 100th verse is memorized - it will go on for the rest of your life if you really want to keep the verses fresh in your mind.
3. Keep a master list of all verses memorized, as well as those being worked on. Once a verse is memorized, it is placed on the list and reviewed each day for ten days. When the ten day review is over, it is placed in a category that is reviewed once every week or month.
4. Quote it ten times straight, take out a sheet of paper and begin to write it. Check the written verse for correct-ness. Write it again, and check it again. Write it at least 5 times. This seems to really ingrain the verse in the memory. Make sure to review it each day for at least 10 days.
5. It is also helpful to be able to categorize the verses in general category headings.
6. Make it a priority. Without a commitment to following through, we will never get the verses down.
