Language Arts

Ask students to hunt for words in their reading and writing that fit the phonic or word study pattern being studied. These words can create a word wall that illustrates examples of the different patterns studied. Students could keep a word study notebook to record the known patterns and their new understanding about words, and can play games and activities that apply their word knowledge.

Math

Word walls in math can provide visual cues and graphic representations of content. Consider using a math word wall that has three parts: key vocabulary, "in your own words" definitions, and a variety of ways to portray a function. For example, multiplication is portrayed by the following symbols: x, *, and ( ).

Number sense, concepts, and operations word wall
The purpose of the mathematics word wall is to identify words and phrases that students need to understand and use so as to make good progress in mathematics. Mathematical language is crucial to children's development of thinking. If students do not have the vocabulary to talk about math concepts and skills, they cannot make progress in understanding these areas of mathematical knowledge. They need to be familiar with mathematical vocabulary and mathematical terms to understand written and spoken instructions. See math word wall resources >

More ideas for word walls in math
Many teachers are familiar with basic word wall strategies including the use of a flashlight (to put the light on words) and a fly swatter (to highlight words). Teachers are also familiar with tested favorites like bingo; I Have, Who Has; and Mind Reader, but they really wanted other ideas. The purpose of this post by Dr. Deborah Wahlstrom is to identify additional ways to use word walls with mathematics content. More math word wall ideas >

Science

Using interactive word walls in science
Science is a vocabulary-intense subject that is dependent on students learning new and often times difficult vocabulary to increase comprehension and help them make connections between and among concepts. When science students are given the opportunity to interact with the vocabulary, they are more likely to remember it.

Ideas for using the words on your wall are only limited by your imagination. Some examples include:

Students categorize and sequence from largest to smallest (cell, bacteria, yeast, tissue, ribosome, organ, organism, organ system, protozoa, virus) Variation: Students are given vocabulary words, and their classmates must arrange them in the correct order and justify the placement.

Students remove words from the wall and make connecting statements about the words. The class can then create a summarizing statement, for example: cells make up tissues, and tissues make up organs.

A word wall is a collection of words which are displayed in large visible letters on a wall, bulletin board, or other display surface in a classroom. The word wall is designed to be an interactive tool for students and contains an array of words that can be used during writing and reading.

ArkansasIDEAS - "The Science of Reading"

How do our brains best tackle learning to read? A new, 18-hour learning path from ArkansasIDEAS - created in partnership with the Arkansas Department of Education and R.I.S.E. (Reading Initiative for Student Excellence) - is launching to help the state's educators explore just that!

According to the Children's Literacy Foundation, the average child in poverty has only been exposed to 25 hours of one-on-one reading. Middle class children, meanwhile? They've typically experienced 1,000-1,700 hours of one-on-one reading time. That means children in poverty have had - on average - 2.5 percent of the reading preparation their classmates have had when they start learning to read in school.

To help level the playing field for all students, the Right to Read Act (Act 1063) was created and requires educators to achieve proficiency (grades K-6 and K-12 SPED teachers) or awareness (grades 7-12) in knowledge and practices of the science of reading instruction.

In response, ArkansasIDEAS is launching "The Science of Reading" learning path - a group of courses related to a subject area or particular state initiative - to connect principles from neuroscience about how the brain learns to read with instructional classroom practices. The 18-hour learning path launches June 1, 2018, with its first course "Science of Reading: The Right to Read Act," and additional courses in the learning path will be released through 2021.

Hosted by ADE Assistant Commissioner of Learning Services Stacy Smith, "The Science of Reading" learning path will:

highlight presentations from experts in scientific reading instruction, neuroscientists and Arkansas educators.

describe the changes that take place in the brain of a child learning to read.

explain the Five Essential Elements of Effective Reading Instruction - phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

provide background information and practical strategies for creating explicit, systematic instruction in each of the Five Essential Elements.

provide a basic knowledge of how children learn to read and how to identify the root of common reading struggles.

To help strengthen reading education "The Science of Reading" joins the state's reading professional development's focus on the science behind how one learns to read and on changing instructional practices in the classroom. Through the learning path, educators will have an opportunity to develop an awareness of the science behind reading instruction and the best practices for supporting readers in the classroom.

"The Science of Reading" learning path is available through ArkansasIDEAS at ideas.aetn.org. Courses to be released during the summer of 2018 will include:

"Science of Reading: The Right to Read Act," June 2018.

"Science of Reading: An Overview," July 2018.

"Science of Reading: The Reading Brain," August 2018.
