How to Use a Word Wall

Struggling on figuring out how to use a word wall in the classroom? Here are a few tips on teaching your students how to use a word wall for daily vocabulary practice.

A word wall is a powerful tool for building vocabulary and strengthening key concepts in the classroom. To use a word wall effectively, try the following!

• Display high-frequency words, subject-specific terms, or student-generated vocabulary in a clear and organized way. 
• Regularly engage students with interactive activities such as word hunts, matching games, and writing drills that incorporate the words. 
• Encourage students to reference the word wall during conversations, reading, and writing to support their learning and confidence. 

By making the word wall a regular part of daily instruction, you can create a print-rich environment that enhances language development and comprehension.
