Hints to Help Learn 50 States
________________________________________
Occasionally we stumble onto interesting pieces of information that help us learn faster and retain longer. Some of these may take imagination, but others are so obvious that we wonder why we didn't think of it sooner. Here are some that we have found.

Vermont is shaped like the letter "V". While writing answers on a blank map, students often transpose the positions of Vermont and New Hampshire. After this, they will never make that mistake: Vermont is shaped like the first letter of it's name (V).

Louisiana is shaped like the letter "L".

Ohio - Oklahoma - Oregon. If you use the Click and Learn system to learn the states alphabetically on the screen, you will begin to notice patterns. For example, when you get to North Dakota, the next three states form a line from east to west (point to Ohio and then Oklahoma and then Oregon).

California - Colorado - Connecticut. Alphabetically, these states are in a line from west to east.

Mississippi - Missouri - Montana. Alphabetically, these states are in a line from southeast to northwest.

Eight states begin with the letter "M".


Eight states begin with the letter "N"
