How to Use the Three-Step Memorization Process

BibleMemory.com uses a proven three-step process that progressively challenges your recall. Access “Typing Mode” to switch between levels:

1
Type It
Type the first letter of each word in the verse. This introduces the verse structure and gets you familiar with the flow of the passage.
2
Memorize It
Every other word is hidden. Fill in the missing words to strengthen your recall of the verse content.
3
Master It
Type the full verse from memory. Once mastered, the verse enters the spaced repetition review system.
Important:Verses only enter the automatic review system after you have fully mastered them in Step 3.
