The Vocabulary LINCing Routine (Soft Cover)

Product Details

Teachers use the Vocabulary LINCing Routine to facilitate student use of two powerful tools (an auditory memory device and a visual memory device) to help them learn and remember the meaning of complex terms.

According to research, the best way to teach vocabulary words so students remember them is within the context of subject-matter instruction. For example, the best way to teach the meaning of the word “segregation” might be within a lesson about the U.S. civil rights movement in the 1960s. However, although some students will learn the meaning of the word with this approach, many students will not. They might not be able to remember the difference between “segregation” and “integration,” for example.

That’s where the Vocabulary LINCing Routine comes in handy! Based on a set of memory tools for vocabulary learning, the routine can be used by teachers to teach the meaning of vocabulary words in a memorable way during ongoing lessons. The teacher and students work together to record background knowledge, rhyming words, pictures, and stories on a LINCS Table in a way that helps students remember important parts of the definition of a new word.

This manual includes specific steps for introducing the LINCS Table to students, as well as the steps for developing LINCS Tables as a part of whole-class discussions. Multiple examples of LINCS Tables are included throughout the book, as are ideas for adapting the instruction and teaching students how to construct LINCS Tables on their own.
