After first implementing the LINCS Table in our grade 8 Physical Science co-taught classroom, we have used it routinely with weekly vocabulary words. Each week, our co-taught students have at least 10 new vocabulary words to learn. We have found that the students can easily remember, have gotten use to, and prefer using the LINCS table for the more difficult vocabulary words. Our class size is 20 students, 7 of which are SPED and are SLD, ED, and OHI.
I have also been able to spiral the LINCS Table into my self-contained classes as well as the Academic Support bell most of the inclusion and self-contained students have. This has provided the students an additional opportunity to complete the table with their vocabulary words. I have encouraged the students to use the LINCS table in their other core classes to facilitate retention of vocabulary, and have blank worksheets available for them to use. My co-teacher and I are hopeful that the students will continue to use this well beyond their years in middle school.
