Local PCT church helps parents and children study by introducing “Memorization 
Reading Method”

Reported by Simon Lin

Written by Lydia Ma

Lin-An Presbyterian Church in Tainan invited renowned educator Liang Wen-lung 
to speak at a workshop organized by the church on the topic of “Memorization 
Reading”. Liang had previously hosted more than 500 workshops on the topic. 
Scheduled for the afternoon of January 8, 2012, the workshop was open to the 
public so that more people might benefit from it and get to know Lin-An Church 
as well.

Focused on helping the audience improve their memory via associative thinking, 
the workshop also helped people to discover their personal blind spots when it 
comes to studying and memorizing. Liang reminded parents and children that 
emotional and physical health were important factors affecting a person’s 
memory and should therefore be included as part of effective strategies that 
must be used whenever attempting to study or memorize anything.

Liang underscored that the reason why many people cannot remember something 
isn’t because they are incapable, but rather, because they don’t like to 
memorize. As long as a person can find a point of interest and get past this 
“emotional barrier”, memorization will be easy. An expert in helping people 
reach their potential, Liang provided an overview of the brain’s anatomy and 
functions and introduced various kinds of memorization tricks.

After learning about these methods, the audience was invited to memorize phone 
numbers and English words through memory by association. The result was very 
impressive and the audience was very engaged throughout these exercises.

Lin-An Church’s pastor, Rev. Liu Shih-kuang said that this seminar was an 
example of his church’s outreach and its underlying purpose was to help people 
to get to know the church. He added that since many parents nowadays don’t know 
how to teach their children, his church will continue to offer seminars related 
to parenting to help members of the church as well as members of the community.
