10. NAME OF STRATEGY: Personal word wall folder

11. INCLUDE PICTURES OF THE STRATEGY:

12. DETAILED STEPS OF THE STRATEGY:

MATERIALS:

● a manila folder {cream color works best so kids can read the words}

● Sharpies {I chose red for vowels and blue for consonants, but any color will do}

● a ruler

● a pencil

With your pencil and ruler, lightly draw a center horizontal line on the front of your

folder. Then draw two vertical lines, dividing the front into 6 equal sections {for letters

A-F}.

Taking a permanent marker, draw the line in darker. I like to use squiggles because it

just makes it look more fun. To save time, you could just trace the straight line.

Do the exact same steps with the middle and the back of the folder.
 Then add your letters, A-Z to the folder. Again, I write vowels in red and consonants

in blue, but you can do it any way you’d like.

The only catch is that you have one space less than you have letters. But I usually

combine X & Y or Y & Z, since there aren’t many sight words or high frequency

words that start with those letters.

Now, add your words. We are using this one for the sight words from Reading the

Alphabet.

13. WITH DETAILS, WHY YOU CHOSE THIS STRATEGY AND HOW IT WILL HELP THE

STUDENT.

Based on the student’s learning expectation, a personal word wall folder will help with the
students areas of need, such as their reading and writing skills, oral language-listening,
problem solving and critical thinking skills. By creating a personal word wall, the student can
have easy access to important vocabulary words and visual cues that they can refer to
during their learning activities. This can greatly support their understanding and retention of
key concepts in various subjects. With a personal word wall, the student can develop their
reading and writing skills by referring to the word wall for spelling and vocabulary support.
Additionally, the word wall can serve as a visual aid during oral language activities, helping
the student with listening and speaking skills. The personal word wall can also foster
problem-solving and critical thinking skills, as the student can use it as a resource to expand
their understanding and find connections between different concepts.
