The LINCS Vocabulary Strategy is a five-step strategy that students can use to remember a vocabulary word and its meaning—now and in the future. The creation of rhyming words, simple stories, and pictures comprise this memory-enhancing strategy that enables students to expand their vocabulary and have fun in the process. As a part of the program, students learn to make study cards and to test themselves over the information. This instructor’s manual contains sets of words and definitions to be used in practice activities as well as quizzes. Research has shown that students who were failing vocabulary tests could earn “Cs” or better after they learned the strategy. Remember to order the student practice materials!
