The A to Z Rainbow Portable Word Wall comes with Circle Letter Header Cards, 220 Dolch Words, PLUS I added bonus words that go under the letters q, x, and z (which are not found in the Dolch list). My kinders enjoy having the portable word rings right at their fingertips when they go to write! I use the writing center as one of my Work on Writing literacy stations as well. Early finishers visit the writing center as an “I’m Through…What Can I Do?” activity. I use half of the prompts for a journal and the other half for my Writing Center. I also print out my NO PREP JOURNAL PROMPTS for the YEAR.

My students hardly even noticed the word wall.

Sure my wall looked pretty with colorful borders and the words organized in alphabetical order, but it wasn’t purposeful. Here are 4 reasons why I made the switch to a portable word wall, and why you should too! 1. I received several messages from fellow teachers, so I thought I would blog about how switching from a traditional word wall to a portable version has been an absolute game-changer in my kindergarten classroom. Recently, I posted a picture of my new portable word wall on my Instagram.
