Description:  The Inference Strategy is a set of procedures readers can use to comprehend written passages and answer inferential questions (questions that are not answered directly in the text). Research results showed that students who learned the Inference Strategy improved their ability to make inferences and to identify different types of questions. The Vocabulary LINCing Routineis 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.
