walls can be effective literacy tools that have the potential for enhancing
vocabulary learning when used in conjunction with effective instructional
practices. Reading fluency is one of the
primary elements in the reading process.
It is the ability to read orally with speed and efficiency, including
word recognition, decoding, and comprehension (Chard & Pikulski,
2005). Research has shown that one
effective way to improve reading fluency is by interacting with a word wall and
its related activities to develop high frequency word recognition.
