Note to teachers: Your students have crammed the information. To retain the information, you must help your students review Early and Often. The beauty of this system is this, once your students know the counties in alphabetical order, review only takes 92 seconds a day because the entire class reviews together -- in unison! Use the Paper Test once a week for two months (enlarge it to 8.5 by 11 inches).
