MEMORICONS!
Visual cues that prompt students to produce the phrases in the story.
![Page 23: Let's Be Potato Pals!](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042503/55996d6a1a28ab64368b460b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Here’s how Memoricons work…
When students turn from the first page…
![Page 24: Let's Be Potato Pals!](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042503/55996d6a1a28ab64368b460b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
…they have to remember what the first phrase was.
I say “Hello!”
…to the second double spread…
![Page 25: Let's Be Potato Pals!](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042503/55996d6a1a28ab64368b460b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
This continues as they read…I say
“Hello!”
I write in my
workbook.

Then the challenge is to remember the whole story!
…until the last page.
