During any transition time, use the list to chant/sing the high frequency words of the week, or past high frequency words students are struggling with.) [|Great Ideas to Use the Word Wall] [|More Ideas for Chants] [|Ideas for How to Use Your Word Wall] [|word wall games.pdf] (Print out these cards and have them near your word wall. Play one of these games whenever there is some transition time.)
