Word walls should be large enough for students to see, and they should be located in an accessible place.

Word walls should not be vague or given without context, they should relate to topics that students are learning about, and all words should be taught.

A word wall should have a clear purpose determined.

Words should be organized by letter.

Word wall's should be used as a supportive tool.

I would add new words to the wall during a new unit, and I would add them after teaching students about the word.

I would create games based off of the words on the word wall, like word searches or word unscrambling.

I would make sure to reference the word wall daily, especially about words that we have just learned. I would do this to refresh students memory and ensure that the words are meaningful to students.

Another way I would use word wall's is giving students each a word journal to follow along with the wall. As we add words to the wall, they can add words to their journal. This gives students a portable word wall, and it may help students retain information.

I could play a guessing game with the words on the wall by thinking of a word, and giving students hints about it until they can correctly guess the word.
