tier, deer, dire, dray, tree, etc., because they all begin with
the t or d sound for #1, and end with the r sound for #4.
Remember that we are interested in the consonant sounds
only.
Do you get the idea of how I formed those words? If
you do, then I can go ahead and give you the first few
"pegs." Each one of the peg words that I will give you has
been specially chosen because it is comparatively easy to
picture in your mind, and that is important.
Since the number 1 contains only one digit, and that one
digit is represented by the t or d sound, we must use a
word that contains only that one consonant sound. So, we
will use the word, "TIE." From here on in, the word, "tie"
will always represent the number 1 to you.
As I said, it is important to be able to picture these
objects, so I will give explanations of all those where I
think an explanation is necessary.
The word, "NOAH" will always represent #2. Picture
an old, white haired man on an ark.
The word, "MA" will always mean #3. Here I suggest
that you always picture your own mother.
The word, "RYE" will always represent the number 4.
You can picture either a bottle of Rye whiskey or a loaf of
rye bread. Once you decide on a particular mind picture for
this, or for any of the pegs, use that particular picture
always. You can see how I arrive at these words. They all
have only one consonant sound, and that one sound is the
one representing the digit of the number.
The word, "LAW" will always represent #5. The word
"law" itself, cannot be pictured; I suggest that you picture
any policeman, in uniform, because they represent the law.
Number 6 is the word "SHOE." Number 7 is the word
"COW." Number 8 is the word, "IVY." For this one, you
can picture either Poison Ivy, or ivy growing all over the
