Mr Ward Is Finding That His Grade-3 Students Often Misspell

Mr. Ward is finding that his grade-3 students often misspell the words "receive," "piece," and "neighbour." He teaches them the mnemonic, "I before E, except after C, or when sounded like A, as in neighbour or weigh." Mr. Ward is hoping that when his students write stories, they will:

A) retain a visual image of "ie" and "ei" words based on this mnemonic.
B) hear these words stored in the auditory subsystem of sensory memory as they write.
C) have categorized all the words with "ie" or "ei" appropriately in long-term memory.
D) retrieve this mnemonic from long-term memory into short-term memory for temporary use.
