Step 1A: List the term • Word is listed neatly

Step 2: Identify a Reminding Word • Reminding words sound like or rhyme with all or part of the term
Step 3:Note a LINCing Story • Story uses the reminding word • Story gets across the meaning of the word
Step 4: Create a LINCing Picture • Picture illustrates story in an obvious manner
Step 5: Self-test • Self-test was completed with self, peer or partner
How do we give students the support they need to be successful? Scaffolding: • I do it • We do it • Y’all do it • You do it
Why does it work? • Auditoryfocus on making semantic (meaning) connections between the most important semantic features of a new term’s definition, and semantic features of a common, well-known word that has similar phonetic features. • Visual links provide students with a kind of mind map that also helps students remember the essential features of the meaning of new terms.
