Over the past few days I have been looking at all sorts of word walls on Pinterest. I knew this year I wanted to bring back a word wall but I really didn't want it on a "wall." I finally decided to make my own word wall...personal style:)
I put one together for myself so I could show my students how to make it. I really LOVE how it turned out!
And the best part is...you can always add more alphabet sections for when the kids run out of room!
Take a look!
Then I started thinking hard about how I want to use this in my classroom. I would love to have students use these for words they misspell often in their writing. I want to take these words and use them for their own word work during my Daily 5 time.
You can grab this personal word wall book HERE.
I would like to give one away for free! Leave a comment about how you would use this in your classroom. Don't forget your email:)
I'll pick a winner Sunday morning!
This would be great for my incoming 2nd grader when she gets stuck on a word and don't know how to spell it.

This is great because it will give my class the word wall word of the day right at their fingertips. I would use this daily to write our word of the day and the children would also be able to use it daily for writing time.

You're a genius - what a well thought out and creative idea! I need/want a Word Wall, but there's no place to use it, and it seems like a waste of space (most of the time). With your idea, kids add the words they need - I'm sure with plenty of teacher suggestions/modelling. They can use these Personal Word Walls for all subjects. How many kids spell friend or because correctly? They just need to look at their Word Wall.

Wow! I love this idea and the format you designed. I would love to win this to use with my students. I work with special needs students in grades 3-5, so it is quite difficult to have word walls for all 3 grade levels for the various subjects. This would solve my problem!! It would save me a lot of headaches!
ReplyDeleteI would use this to add words from each of our subjects and have them color coded by subject.
ReplyDeleteI need this so badly for my emerging writers ... this is a wonderful product. Jenni at taylors4md@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome! I'd use this for all my kiddos and encourage them to use it daily.

Love! My kiddos would use it during. Writing workshop, word work and vocabulary acquisition.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous! I have been looking for a way to put up a word wall as they have us do a lot of math vocab and focus! I would use this daily with our reading, spelling, writing! In love💚 with this idea! patbro99&yahoo.com

ReplyDeleteI would use this for everything. In particular for students to keep track of learned sight words and with our math/science/ ela vocabulary so they can use it more with thier writing! This is awesome!!

I would use this in all things literacy. LOVE IT!!! ajudge@ncms.org
ReplyDeleteI would love to use this for our vocab. words and I really like the idea of using them for commonly misspelled words in their own writing! Wonderful Idea!
ReplyDeleteI would use this during writing workshop. When students ask how do you spell "..." I could have them write it on their word wall. Great Resource! cstaylor616@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI am looping to 3rd grade this year with the same kids. My word wall never got looked at last year...so this will be great to have at their fingertips. I would use for writing and daily work:) Thanks! jbroadway@bisdmail.net
ReplyDeleteVocab words and words they want to write but the whole class doesn't need. So many ways it is hard to choose....
ReplyDeleteI would use this for commonly misspelled words. By using this the word walk would be differentiated for individuals during writers workshop as well as work on writing/ word work. Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteI love this for writing time- words they commonly misspell or words that are important to them, but not everyone needs to know how to spell that word.

I would use this for our mandated spelling lists, WTW, and personal words that students want to spell and use in their writing.

I would use these as portable word walls for my homeroom during intervention. Im teaching 1st and 2nd science and social studies and wanted my classroom word wall to be for content. This would be perfect!
