Description
Summary:The ABC Wall, or word wall, is a classroom feature that uses key words containing useful chunks or rhymes that help students read & write unknown words by analogy to words they already know. There is much support for kindergarten curricula that include phonemic awareness activities & purposeful reading & writing. The ABC Wall, combined with appropriate word play & daily reading & writing activities, is recommended as a way to reinforce kindergartners' letter-sound knowledge & allow them to continuously use their growing knowledge. 2 Figures, 20 References.
