This brought back some memories! I remember when I was really young (a long, long time ago) and had trouble spelling the word beautiful (I was only about 7) and my big brother taught me this one, just for the beginning cos I knew the rest! Big Eggs Are Useful He also taught me this rhyme to remember the order of the colours of the spectrum Richard (red) Of (orange) York (yellow) Gave (green) Battle (blue) In (indigo) Vain (violet) Thanks for reminding me that I love my brother! lol xxx
