Rhymes are a great way ______ things. The sounds, unusual words and rhythm of them help you recall ideas. Do you know when Columbus sailed to America? There’s a thyme to help you which goes like this, “______ fourteen-hundred and ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” Most people ______ that since they ______ young and never forget it!

Spelling acronyms involve creating a sentence ______ on the letters of a target word.
