Description of the Shape Peg System

Like the Rhyming Peg System, the Shape Peg System is also based on associating a peg word with each of the digits 1 to 10. The difference is that peg words are chosen on the bases of resemblance in shape. Thus, a pencil might be a good peg word for 1, because it resembles the long and thin shape of a 1. Like the Rhyming Peg System, it can be learned and applied in about twenty minutes. 

To system consists of the following steps..


Step 1. Read through the peg words (2 min)

Step 2. Use the trainer to learn the peg words very thoroughly (8 min)

Step 3. Apply the system to remember a shopping list (10 min)

Step 4. Use the system for mental filing
