What are Word Walls?
A word wall is an organized collection of words prominently displayed in a classroom. This display is used as an interactive tool for teaching reading and spelling to children. There are many different types of word walls including high frequency words, word families, names, alphabet and "doozers".
What is its purpose?
Word walls have many benefits. They teach children to recognize and spell high frequency words, see patterns and relationship in words build phonemic awareness skills and apply phonics rules. Word walls also provide reference support for children during reading and writing activities. Children learn to be independent as they use the word walls in daily activities.
Here at Manzano Middle School every classroom includes a word wall that supports their content area. The purpose for these word walls on our campus are to help our students become familiar with the academic language in each discipline.
