Word wall

The word wall, a common sight in many classrooms, provides another way for the classroom environment to support the benefits of reading informational texts. Word walls offer constant exposure to critical vocabulary, which helps students more readily identify words in later reading and writing activities. In this classroom, the teacher has grouped the words by subject area. Words from a nonfiction text about ecology appear in one section, while words from a math unit appear in another. This grouping strategy facilitates students' understanding of the words in context.
