Word Walls Made Easy...

Reading, writing and words in general intrest children around the age of 2-2 1/2 years old. It is important to flood childrens worlds with ample amounts of literature. The movie "The Color Purple" had a simular idea in the scene when Nettie was teaching Celie to read she labeled things throughout the house and used those things tho teache Celie to read. This idea stems from the fact-the researched fact that children learn best about things in thier "world". Labeling a door or a chair would be more effective than writing the word and teaching them to say it.

The Word Wall or ABC Wall idea is almost the same. The difference is that you categorize the words learned by the begining letter rather than labeling items.
