| The word wall consists of high-frequency words that many second graders can
read but cannot spell the same words correctly when writing. We provide a
brief 5-10 minute review activity each day, and we require students to spell
these words correctly in all their writing.
Extension Activities:
1. Choose a word wall word and use the spelling pattern to write other
words. (rain: pain, sprain, strain, train, brain)
2. Choose a word wall word and add endings. (jump: jumps, jumper, jumping,
jumped)
3. Dictate sentences using word wall words for your child to write.
Children will need to remember to use good handwriting, proper capitals,
proper punctuation and good spelling.
4. Spell rhyming words that use the same spelling pattern as a word wall
word. Try to think of words that begin with blends. (name: frame, flame,
blame, same, game)
5. Add endings to word wall words where you need to drop the silent e.
6. Ask your child how to play the game, "Be A Mind Reader."
