When trying to memorize something, there are many different methods one may choose to employ. Repetition is one of the most popular ways. When we look at the prompt you provided, we see three steps—(a) read the information, (b) write the information, and (c) say the information. These three steps help you experience the information in more ways than just one like if you were only reading the information. These three steps have you reading, performing the mechanical action of writing, then hearing/listening (because you’ll hear yourself reading). In addition to the repetition, by diversifying your experiences with the material, you’ll best be able to remember what it is you seek to remember.
