Start Your Lessons With Words For The New Year

As a result, your students will become thoughtful, articulate speakers and writers. 

Your download includes the following new year-specific vocabulary words:

We’ve also included a blank sheet to add your own list of words.

What Else Can You Do With This Winter Word Wall? 

Word walls are a fantastic way to expose students to the broader world of language with comprehension activities like:

🎆 Daily Oral Language and spelling word of the week exercises

🎆 Counting syllables 

🎆 Recognizing parts of speech (noun types, verbs, adjectives, compound words)

🎆 Creative writing 

🎆 Alphabetical ordering

🎆 Games (Charades, 20 Questions, Swat, etc.)  

You can use your word wall before, during, and after reading with your whole class, small groups, or individualized instruction. 

Here’s how to create a fun Word Search too!
