Word walls…most classrooms have at least one. How do you use these in your classroom? Are your students utilizing the it daily, weekly, monthly?!?! Here are 3 ways to get your learners using the word wall on a daily basis.
Write the Room:
This activity is a standard Word Work station in our classroom. Students are able to write the room but using an alphabet page, thematic writing page or a blank paper or white board
Alphabet Dictionary:
This is great activity for an alphabet word wall. Students can draw, color and write the words to create a dictionary. Whether your learners complete this during morning work, as a station or when they finish their work, it’ll be a hit and something that can take home at the end of the year.
Mini-Lessons:
These walls are a great resource for you learners and it is important to teach them how to use it and mini-lessons are a great time to do just that. During reading or writing have them use the word wall to help them spell, complete alphabetical order, form a letter, etc.
