Word+Wall

==Word Wall words are high frequency words that students encounter often in reading and use often when writing. We practice these words almost daily, and it is expected that students will recognize the words when they read and spell the words correctly when they write.==

Some of the activities we do with these words include:
 * clapping out the syllables
 * using the word wall words to spell new words (if you can spell "cover" you can spell "recover", "recovering", "rediscovering", etc)
 * making word families (make, cake, take, shake, bake)
 * sorting by vowel
 * changing one letter to make a new word (change one letter in "can" to spell "cat")
 * determining if the spelling of a word is logical or illogical
 * playing "I spy" - giving clues about a word and having others guess the word
 * spelling bees
 * chanting the spellings of words
 * using riddles to determine a word
