Rhymes for remembering

[Psychick]

My daughter, who is in year 2 at school and just turned 7, has been having a spelling test each Friday and each Friday, she comes home with a list of new words to learn for the following Friday. She often complains they are too easy and has knows them all already. Friday just gone I looked at the new words and said ha! there's a hard one to learn. The word was "because". She knew it! Then revealed they had been taught a rhyme to remember it which was Big Elephants Can Always Upset Small Elephants. Then I remembered being taught a way of knowing how many c's and s's in words like necessary. Never Eat Crest Eat Salad Sandwiches Always.

What other rhymes do you know to help you remember things?
