The vocabulary Lincing routine used in my 8th grade ELA self- contained class with five boys and one girl. Most students have a Specific Learning Disability, Emotional Disability, or Other Health Impairment. Students read on either a Beginner Reader level to third grade level. The Vocabulary LINCing Routine was used in small group remediation for 45 min when introducing a new thematic unit or short story two times a month. (First as an initial vocabulary teaching tool and then to review of vocabulary).
