One way that I intend to use this digital word wall in my classroom is to have students use it as support when writing. Instead of students having to ask me how to spell high-frequency words, students will be able to use the word wall as a tool.

Another way that I intend to use the digital word wall is to use it as the foundation of having a "Word of the Week" to increase visual exposure to high-frequency words. I will choose words that students struggle with the most and focus on one each week with various activities. Focusing on one a week will increase student accuracy when reading various passages.

A third way that I will use a digital word wall in my classroom is to add student and teacher names and names of places within the school. Again, this wall focuses on high-frequency words, and by adding these components, I am intentionally increasing student's awareness of their environment.

Another way that I plan to use this word wall that increases student engagement is by designating a time when students will add pictures that describe the words. This will increase the visual aid of the word wall and have students feel a sense of contribution to this tool.

The fifth way I intend to use this digital word wall in the classroom is to compare the beginning sounds of words and the spelling of digraphs and vowel teams represented by the different colors on the word wall.

Word walls should have a designated purpose—for example, sight words, vocabulary, high-frequency, etc.

Word walls should be organized by letter.

Word walls should be accessible to all students.

Word walls should be multi-colored.

Do not mix subjects into one word wall. For example, if you want to display math and sight words in your classroom, you should create separate word walls for these subjects.
