Inquiry Project: Helpful Word Wall Resources

Brabham, E. G., et. al., Building walls of words. The Reading Teacher v. 54 no. 7 (April 2001) p. 700-2
This article was a great resource for me to get a better understanding of exactly what a word wall is, how to use one, and the benefits of using a word wall effectively. I would recommend this article to teachers because it is packed with information and good considerations but not too long. Straight to the point and very insightful.

This site provides a basic overview of what word walls are and how they can be used. It also gives visual examples of different word walls teachers have posted. It is a good site to quickly reference to see how you can involve a word wall in your class.
