The Vocabulary LINCing Routine is "designed to facilitate student use of two powerful tools that will help them learn and remember the meaning of complex terms. These tools are referred to as 'auditory memory devices' and 'visual memory devices'" (p. 2 of manual).
After teaching students various vocabulary routines, I'm looking forward to using this one as it provides a connection for students as they think of the story, a picture and using a student-friendly definition. Years ago, I taught SAT vocabulary, and I wish I would have had this tool and routine.
LINCS encompasses five steps:
1. List the parts
2. Indicate a Reminding Word
3. Note a LINCing Story
4. Create a LINCing Picture
5. Self-test
