Thirty Days Has September helps you learn how to remember stuff and definitely helped me learn how to remember the parts of speech and their meanings. Ways it did this was the little tunes like righty tighty, lefty loosey and other stuff like that. The book also uses mnemonics to help you remember like Never Enter Santa's Workshop. This book has ways to remember things for almost everything you can think of and a lot of school mnemonics that help with all of your subjects. The math part includ...more

I should have known how simple this book would be when I saw it is published by Scholastic. I had been looking for tips to help my husband remember "Thirty days hath September…" For what it is, it is good, just way too simple (condescending) for an adult. The author covers many different subjects, the order of the planets starting at the sun and moving out, the order of the planets from largest to smallest, the eight parts of speech, spelling difficult words, distinguishing between homophones, p...more

I'll admit that loving the cover of this book is the sole reason I picked it up. :-) The book was good, though definitely geared toward elementary/early middle school students. There were a lot of nifty mnemonics and clever poems; while a lot of it was utterly basic (it includes instructions on just HOW to sing the ABC's), I was thrilled to find beneficial info my rusty out-of-school-for-too-long brainwaves didn't know/remember, and tricks to remember said forgotten items. Notably, a tongue twis...more
What a handy little book. I'm very fond of mnemonics of all kinds and for an elementary school student in particular, I would think this would be most useful. Lots of spelling and grammar and math memory tips. Good thing for most teachers, too, and useful to have in classrooms.
A cute diversion, with ways to remember everything from sentence structure and basic math to planets and musical notes. Some of the mneumonics are a little far-fetched (harder to remember than the thing itself), but most are pretty clever.
A sweet, little book of tricks and tips to help school-age children remember everything: punctuation & grammar rules, history dates, times tables, math formulas, history facts, and even survival techniques. A great gift!
I more skimmed this book then read it per say, but it was neat with the little memory tricks, some of them I remember having heard before and others new to me. It covers a variety of subjects from grammar to science.
This is such a cool book because it tells you some great ways to remember things e.g. Spelling - How to remember how to spell Mississippi - Mrs M, Mrs I, Mrs S S I, Mrs S S I, Mrs P P I
This an awesome book for upper elementary, middle, and high school students...even adults can benefit from the strategies for remembering these basic facts that everyone should know.
I really liked this book I thought that it was really good. I would recomed this book to anyone that has trouble in school because this really helped me in school.

great mnemonic devices for help remember Math, English, Science, and other facts. Not one to sit down and read, but helpful to remember what you're learned.

marked it as to-read
Heard about this book today (Jan. 6th) on NPR's "All Things Considered". Sounds like a good read, especially for someone with as bad a memory as me.
Incredibly basic, and far less useful than it could have been. The mnemonics were thin on the ground, and the book mainly consisted of school-age info.
Sounds like a great book. Particularly for kids but fun for adults as well. Well reviewed on NPR
Great little book with lots of tricks to remember everything from grammar to music.
Very cute mnemonic tricks. I always need more things to help my memory.
This is a great book for both children and adults.
I enjoyed this book and even learnt something!!! Actually, I learnt quite a few things!
a little too young for me..
read for fun
good book!
usefull book
So I need to buy this book and extra copies for gifts for all my friends kids, because yeah, wish I had a book like this as a kid.
We are having fun learning with acronyms, rhyme and more!
Super cute and very clever.
handy...
