View the Firstmem Help Screencast for brief overview of the FirstMem functionality.

First, search for a ESV Bible passage ('Rom 8') or Westminster Shorter Catechism question ('wsc 3'). Then choose All to see all of the text, First letters to just see the first letter of every word in the text, and finally Test to remove all of the text then display it as you type the first letters in order.

Recommended memorization strategy:
  1. Memorize one or two sentences at a time.
  2. Get to a place where you can recite the text using just the first letters. Use the First letters option below to aid you to this end. More information on why this is so effective.
  3. Recite the text without the aid of first letters. You will be very much surprised how quickly this will go after step 2.
  4. Optionally, use the Test to validate that you have truly memorized the sentence(s).
