Tips for Memorization using Keywis

Take your Keywi cards wherever you go to make best use of your spare moments!
Back to: Memorization

WHERE: Keywi™ cards are meant to help keep your memory verses always on hand. Most people find keeping them on their keys the best way to always have their verses with them. For others, keeping them strapped to a purse, backpack, belt loop, or water bottle, might be the best strategy.

WHEN: Once you’ve decided where to attach your keywiTM cards, look for spare moments throughout your day to read through, recite, review, and repeat the flashcards. Some common opportunities to do this include waiting in a check-out line, pumping gas, waiting for a meeting to begin, in the midst of a traffic jam, at lunchtime, during a break, or while taking a walk.

WHAT: Choose a pack of flashcards that best suits your current need or get a pack of blank cards to customize the verses you want to memorize. It is important to strive for 100% accuracy when you memorize. Not only will it be easier to recall in the future, but it will help you understand the specific meaning of the verse. Most importantly, these are God’s true words for applying to your life so it is important to be faithful in accurate memorization!


HOW: The best memorization strategies will vary from person to person, but some helpful tactics include:


-memorize a verse phrase-by-phrase, break-up the task to make it easier

-read the verse over and over again, then try to repeat it by memory

-read the verse aloud, then repeat by memory

-imagine pictures in your mind of the content in your verse or imagine the words on the card

- draw pictures on the front side of the card to help you remember the content of the verse and envision what you are memorizing

-repeat and review verses you already memorized to build on your scripture knowledge

-ask a friend to memorize with you to keep you accountable

-have a friend check-up on your memorization by quizzing you with your flashcards

God's Word

    As I look back over the last ten years of my life and back to that moment when I memorized Psalm 138:8 in 2003, “ The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; Your love, O Lord, endures forever, do not abandon the works of Your hands .” (NIV ’83) I’m reminded of one thing that remained constant throughout those years: God’s word. As I was pursuing various career paths, jobs, classes, businesses, and relationships, one thing remained the same: God, His enduring love, and the faithfulness of His word and His promises. In the midst of all we go through and all we encounter in life, God has given us the unshakable and unchangeable truth of His word. God’s word is truth that endures forever because by His very nature, God is eternal and unchangeable. Jesus said: “ Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will never pass away ” (Matt 24:35, NIV) The apostle Peter quoted Isaiah: “ All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the ...

Company Ownership

Ownership:   The  true owner of the Keywi™ project is Jesus Christ! It exists for His glory and for the discipling of His followers. “ …all things have been created through him and for him .” (Colossians 1:16b, NIV) “… for whom and through whom everything exists… ” (Hebrews 2:10, NIV) The endeavors of all who contribute to this project via assembly, design, printing, distribution, etc. are akin to gardeners who plant seeds and water the soil. We attribute any and all growth to God! “ So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. ” (1 Corinthians 3:7, NIV) Purpose: 1. Overarching purpose: To glorify Jesus by helping others grow in the knowledge, love, and worship of Christ, become more like Him, and increase His Kingdom! 2. Specific purpose: To provide Christians with practical, everyday ways to know and live out God’s truth at a heart level by memorizing and meditating on scripture, truth principles, and ...
