States and Capitals By Donna

Hi,
I use many of the ideas already presented, but I have also found the book "Yo! Sacramento" to work very well. It uses mneumonic devise, riddle and illustrations to help students remember the states and capitals. They love to guess what the illustration will look like and begin to come up with some of their own. Scholastic book order is where I find it and there is a companion one called "Yo! Millard Filmore" for presidents. Good Luck!
