I’ve always loved the idea of a word wall, but we just don’t have space for it in our small school room.  Word Walls can increase vocabulary, be a fun way to reinforce spelling, and spark great writing activities. Due to our lack of wall space, I had written off using word walls in our homeschool.

Last week, I created a Spelling Dictionary for my daughter using ordinary file folders.  Then it dawned on me:

I can create a File Folder Word Wall.

Woo hoo!  And our wall space problem is now solved!

Fall Word Wall Using File Folders

This Fall Word Wall set provides you with two options: Word Cards to display on the wall in the traditional way or Word Cards to glue in a file folder. You may even choose to use both methods!

This set makes a great addition to your fall unit study, fall vocabulary words, and also makes a complete fall quiet time activity for homeschool or a traditional classroom.

Fall Word Wall Activities at a Glance

• Recommended Grades: 1st through 3rd Grades
• Includes: 32 illustrated fall word-wall cards, a portable file-folder word wall, and 12 printable worksheets

• Printing Options: Colorful and print-friendly versions
• Use It For: Homeschool language arts, literacy or writing centers, independent word work, small groups, and early finishers

Instead of using a pocket chart, or placing words on a wall or bulletin board, I made my 2nd grader a word wall that is glued inside of a regular file folder.

This particular word wall focuses on vocabulary you would use during the fall season.

I love to increase my children’s vocabularies through reading good literature and using fun activities.  This word wall is just the supplement to use with our fun Fall reading!

While I created this packet for my 2nd grader, you could easily use it in 1st-3rd grades, and even in 4th grade for children that need extra supplementation and phonics support.

What’s Included in the Fall Word Wall Packet?

In addition to a colorful list of fall vocabulary words, I added 12 printables that can easily be tucked into the file folder.

When it’s time to work on vocabulary or we just have a few extra minutes, my daughter can easily take out her Fall Folder.

She loves it!

► 2 colorful lists of Fall Words, which include a picture for each word; includes 32 words total

Ways to Use the Fall Word Wall

The full-size fall word-wall cards can be displayed near your writing area or any free homeschool wall space you might have, while the file-folder version gives students a portable reference they can use anywhere. Keep the folder easily accessible for your children so they can check the spelling of fall vocabulary words independently while completing worksheets, writing sentences, or working on seasonal stories.

Here are a few ways to use the Fall Word Wall in your homeschool or classroom:

• Independent writing reference: Encourage students to find and spell fall words independently during journal writing or creative writing assignments.
• Weekly vocabulary practice: Choose five or six words each week to practice reading, spelling, and using in sentences.
• Alphabetical order: Have students arrange selected word cards in ABC order.
• Syllable practice: Sort the words according to the number of syllables in each one.
• Grammar review: Choose words from the wall and identify them as nouns, verbs, or adjectives.
• Sentence writing: Ask students to select two or three words and use them in a complete sentence or short fall story.
  ** We use this type of activity often in our homeschool. I choose a word and make a sentence, and then my child chooses a word and forms a sentence.
• Beginning-sound review: Sort the words by their beginning letters or sounds.
• Literacy centers: Place the file-folder word wall and coordinating worksheets in a writing or word-work center for independent practice.
• Fall vocabulary review: Cover either the word or picture and ask students to identify the missing part.

Younger students can focus on recognizing the pictures, reading the words, and practicing beginning sounds. Older students can use the vocabulary for spelling practice, grammar activities, and more detailed fall writing assignments.
