Word Walls
 
  • Great for reviewing content vocabulary.
  • Revisit the word wall frequently during a lesson or unit.
  • Encourage students to use the vocabulary in their writing or discussions.
  • Limit the number of words used to only those of greatest importance.
  • Use large letters so the words are easily readable.
  • Only one word wall in the classroom - avoid a clutter effect.
  • Have students help eliminate words that are no longer needed on the wall to keep the number of words reasonable.
