not free but the sample pages could be
used to inspire
your students. Following the mnemonic principle of association, Vocabulary Cartoons link
together an auditory (rhyming) word association and a visual association in the
form of a humorous cartoon. These powerful mnemonics help students retain the
meanings of words longer and with less effort than trying to memorize
definitions straight out of a dictionary.
