Personal Word Walls are a great tool for kindergarten writers! Sometimes kindergartners struggle with writing because sounding out each word is such hard work for young writers. Personal Word Walls allow kindergarten students to have frequently needed words right at their fingertips as they are writing. Using file folders, students glued on letters and then recorded words from our class word wall. Students then added words that were important for their own writing - like the names of family members, favorite sports, or favorite foods. These word walls will be tucked into our writing folders to allow us to become more fluent writers.

I love teaching kindergarten literacy at STEM! It is amazing to be a part of the reading and writing growth of a kindergarten student. You get to see kids move from knowing some letters and sounds to being enthusiastic readers and young authors. Archives
