Vocabulary Strategy: KIM

This vocabulary strategy is unique and useful because it allows each student to break apart a key vocabulary term and develop his/her own memory clue. This strategy is especially great for English Language Learners and struggling readers.

K=Key Vocabulary Word/Concept
I=Information/Definition
M=Memory Clue--Picture or Unusual Connection

Sentence: Students will use the term in their own complete sentence.

Extra Tip! KIM is also a great tool for studying and test-taking!
