I had this problem a lot in high school. What we always did was to find similarities with the word and the definitions. For example: promiscuous - is the practice of making relatively casual and indiscriminate choices. The term is most commonly applied to sexual behavior.
So you make the application with something like: you can be PROMiscuous at the PROM.
Ok, maybe that was a bad example, but you get the idea, and it was the first thing I could come up with. Hope it helps!

You can try making the letters tactile and trace them while you say them to yourself. Example - cut them out of sandpaper, or make lines of glue over them and let them dry puffy. This helps a lot of kids with language difficulties get the connection between a word and the idea it stands for. If you are having a lot of difficulty, you should ask your teacher/school counselor/principal/parent to help you get checked for a learning disability; even if you don't have one, it will help you figure out how you learn best, and you can apply that to your study habits.

Use index card or cut out computer paper and write the word on the other side and the definition on the other side and go over it every night for 5-10 min.

Why not ask your teacher for some solutions??? Or you could go to homework websites like homeworkcentral.com, or asksjeevesforkids.com, factmonster.com, ala.org(click on kids connect), schoolwork.org, or .kids.infoplease.com/homework. Also try to listen in class, take accurate notes, and study for tests. Some you'll bring those D's up to A's in no time. I'm a straight A student, don't worry, take my advice, it'll help. Good Luck!!!

I use acronyms. I find it easy to use. Lets say you have a word, look for similarities between the word and the definition. I always find that that helps me. Helpful study habits i use are have someone quiz you and mark down the ones you really dont know and study those questions and then look at it again
GOOD LUCK!

There is a website called QUIA and i'm pretty sure it's just QUIA.com, and you can sign up for a free 30-day account and make your flashcards online. The cool part is that the website will design crosswords, wordsearches, matching exercises, tests, and virtual flashcards for you to use.

Have you tried a studding group. That might help you learn what kind of learner you are , visual , censorial or auditorial.
if writing it doesn't help and you have tried reading it out loud it might be that you need someone to read it to you or ask you and repeat the answer to you. Sort of a ''buddy system''
Its fun when you enjoy studing, you will see results. Good luck!!

try making a song out of them, or a rhyme, or something to make them catchy to stick in your head
