"Telk" is not a real word, but you can easily pronounce it. You could also have used "kelt" as an acronym.

For example, the acronym "capp" can be used to remember the following fruits: pear, apple, peach, cherry. You can use the first letter "p" in the acronym to remember either "pear" or "peach" and the second letter "p" to remember the other.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Use the acronym strategy as a way to remember information.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><img width=343 height=390 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01CF5EED.28FEA1B0"><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Don’t forget to sign up for our basket!!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Informal Roman";color:#0070C0'>Kinya Meineke</span></b><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Informal Roman";color:#0070C0'>, M.A.g.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Informal Roman";color:#0070C0'>Counselor/Advisor<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Informal Roman";color:#0070C0'>Student Support Services<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Informal Roman";color:#0070C0'>Eastern Oklahoma State College<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Informal Roman";color:yellow'>“</span></b><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Informal Roman";color:#FFCC00'>Your Tomorrow Begins Today”</span></b><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Informal Roman";color:yellow'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Informal Roman";color:#0070C0'>918.465.1822<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
