The Vocabulary LINCing Routine is a combination of two tools (auditory memory devices and visual memory devices) used to help students learn and remember the meaning of complex terms. The routine utilizes a chart divided into five steps that include writing the term, writing the definition, coming up with a reminding word, creating a LINCing story, and, finally, creating a LINCing picture as a visual way to connect to and remember the word.
I have used a similar strategy with middle school students many years ago as a classroom teacher and I found it to be very beneficial for students. They enjoyed playing with words and this strategy allowed them to be more comfortable in devising ways that make sense for them to remember and use new words authentically. I am looking forward to sharing this strategy with others who are looking for ways to increase engagement and facility with their students.
