Over the years I've had several different designs of word walls. I hate how much space they take up on classroom walls. My first wall I created using index cards and I did it all by hand. Yuck! is all I can say about it. I've bought other word walls and there seemed to be a million pieces. For the last few years I didn't have any word wall except for a Words For Writing Chart. At the end of the year I noticed a word wall in a second grade classroom at my school that hit me like a ton of bricks. That's it! That's what I need, a smaller word wall that kids can use to help with reading and writing.
It takes the space on a half a door. I have a bathroom in my classroom and it is the perfect place for all to see and an easy space to attach words with just tape. I am thrilled with how it looks.
I created it using tables. I put all words in alphabetical order. It was easy to attach to the door and I can always add more words if we need to. Here's how it looks.
I printed the alphabet on bright pink for bright contrast. It is just what I've been dreaming of for years. You are welcome to try the Mini Word Wall out here.
