As a hopeful lower elementary teacher, I chose words that I felt kindergarten-first graders would use in their every day vocabulary. I included a variety of pronouns that students can use within their writing as they begin to explore the world around them by changing the name of a person with the appropriate pronoun. I also chose to include several locational and question words so students have the opportunity to expound on their thinking by asking appropriate questions or giving appropriate explanations. I chose words that can be sounded out by individual letters, words that include a variety of phonics rules with long vowels and words that introduce digraphs to early readers.

When we add a word to the wall, we will explore the word in many ways for students to have multiple opportunities to connect with it and its uses. This can include writing the word in the air, spelling the word with manipulatives, and practicing using the word in sentences.

While working on writing projects, I will encourage students to refer to the word wall for spelling. I will ask them questions that cause them to think about its location on the board to seek it out on their own.

While working in centers for ELA, students will have the opportunity to locate words with a scavenger hunt. Students will be given clues and they will need to locate the word on the wall for the next clue.

I can give students word wall words that have been separated out by individual letters. Students will manipulate the letters to create the correct word then use the word in a sentence, either verbally or written.

After reading a book to the class, we can explore the word wall words we heard within the book by making a list and discussing context of the words used within the book.
