Vocabulary LINCing and Unit Organizer Routines
Descriptions of Routines
Vocabulary LINCing Routine
The Vocabulary LINCing Routine is designed to facilitate student use of two powerful tools—an auditory memory device and a visual memory device—that will help them learn and remember the meaning of complex terms. Research results showed that students, including those with learning disabilities, improved their performance by an average of 19 percentage points on vocabulary tests.
Unit Organizer Routine
Teachers use the Unit Organizer Routine to plan units; introduce and maintain the big ideas in units; and show how units, critical information, and concepts are related. Research results showed that students whose teachers regularly and consistently used the Unit Organizer Routine scored an average of 15 percentage points higher on unit tests than students whose teachers used it only irregularly. Low-achieving students, students with learning disabilities, and average-achieving students substantially improved their understanding and retention of information as reflected in unit test scores and in scores on unit content maps and explanations of these maps.
