Use it to improve student vocabulary.

Use as examples in a lesson if I need to break down a word.

I would print off copies of the word wall and give it to students and use it whenever they need it. Also to give one to parents to help them at home if necessary.

I could use the word wall to teach spelling.

I would have students create a small word wall, but only using the words that we are learning in a lesson. For example, if we have 10 vocabulary words, students will then create a small word wall of the vocabulary word and use it to study for their quiz.

Make sure students have access to the word wall either digital or hard copy. (do)

Having a word wall that has meaning to the classroom. For example, I made a fifth-grade word wall, but it won't work for a 1st grade or second grade classroom. (don't)

Make sure the students are aware of how to use the word wall and when to use it. (do)

Being aware of how students create their small word wall related to the vocabulary or spelling test. (do)

Making sure students know the words on the word wall and not just letting them assume or guess. (do)
