If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job.

A student who knows a word can recognize it, understand it, and apply that understanding in combinations with other types of knowledge

then students will be able comprehend the material
Usual routine.. Introduce words before reading, look up
words, write definitions, then read story Students need IN-DEPTH knowledge of
words to be able to read the words in many contexts

Word walls “become a kind of visual scaffolding that provides students with a reference for words they will need for literacy activities and helps them to make the transition to more independent reading and writing.”
Mary Rycik, 2002How primary teachers are using
word walls to teach literacy strategies. Ohio Reading Teacher, Summer 2002
Teaching with Word WallsGroup words in different categories to help
students learn to read and spell words independently
Select words from a variety of sources Limit the number of words that are addedCategorize words in a variety of waysProvide many opportunities for word wall
