A One Group Pretest – Posttest Design and One – Shot Case Study Design were used in the study. Nineteen (19) pupils have used as subjects of the study. The mean scores and standard deviations were calculated to define the data gathered. Results showed that there is an increase of mean scores on the pupils’ performance during the pre and post oral reading vocabulary test after the implementation of the word wall activities. Moreover, the results of the completion of the word wall activities made pupils read more words correctly. However, the results revealed that the word wall activities have positive impact on pupils’ learning while doing the activities.
