The book used the most ridiculous mnemonic to help you remember them, and like most good methods, the more outrageous, the more useful it is. I did it in segments but all told it pro… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Extreme boredom in 5th grade. I've memorized them in blocks and set certain presidents as checkpoints, like WH Harrison, Lincoln, Cleveland, FDR, Kennedy, Bush. Read how I did it…

I finally took some time today to memorize the list! So far, I have them memorized in order, but it takes me a while. I can’t wait until I can name a random numbered president off the top of my head. So nerdy, I know!

I remember we had to learn this in 7th grade but my recall only went up to Lincoln. I took the same method I used in 7th grade and learned the rest in half a day. It helps to make a story with the first letters of their last name. For example Washington-Lincoln (this is the one my teacher taught me in 7th grade, thanks Mr. Wilson): [read vertically]
Walter Washington
And Adams
Jack Jefferson
Met Madison
Mary Monroe
And Adams
Jane Jackson
Visily (not a real word) Van Buren
Hurrying Harrison
To Tyler
Pick Polk
The Taylor
Fresh Fillmore
Peas Pierce
Before Buchannan
Lunch Lincoln
hope it helps!
The List

Yup, I really don’t care a whole heck of a lot about this one. But its just sitting there on my list so I feel compelled to do it just so I don’t have to click the “I give up” button. So I printed out a chronological list of all the U.S. Presidents. We’ll see where we go from there.
