More About This Resource
This Sound Wall with Mouth Pictures & Sound Wall Locks is a comprehensive, Science of Reading-aligned tool designed to help students master phoneme awareness and phonics.

With mouth articulation pictures representing diverse children and sound wall locks to secure student engagement, this resource offers an interactive, research-based approach to phonics instruction.
The sound wall includes all the materials needed to systematically teach phonemes, making it perfect for educators who want to align their instruction with Science of Reading best practices, such as those suggested by LETRS. Whether used in print or digitally via Google Slides, this resource offers versatility in the classroom.

This is a fabulous resource to align with the SOR. I love the multicultural mouth photos. This file includes tons of resources to choose from to fit your needs. My kids love using the sound wall as a resource while we are in small group and have gotten excited to “unlock” the next sound we’re going to learn.

Great resource! Loved that the mouth positions were actual photos. Definitely need large bulletin board space unless you shrink them a bit for printing.

I’m very excited to have this resource as I’ve been trying to learn about sound walls. Although I teach pre-k, I’m looking forward to strengthening my students’ alphabet knowledge and their confidence in knowing where to look when they hear specific sounds. My next challenge is to figure out how to arrange the pictures in my classroom. Thank you for having such an amazing learning tool!

I was nervous to make the switch to a Sound Wall in my classroom this year, but Christina’s summer PD inspired me. Using the lessons and these visuals, we have been working on learning the patterns for spelling and I find my students referencing the wall regularly. Thanks for making my first attempt at a Sound Wall successful due to your PD and this great product!

The Sound Wall resource has driven my instruction every week. When I learned about the science of reading this resource was exactly what I wanted to use. My students use this display all the time. Good by word wall , hello sound wall.

I love this resource. I use a sound wall last year that I really liked and I was able to combine this one with that one to create my dream sound wall. The students love using the digital sound wall when they are writing because they can click on the sounds to hear them and make sure they have the right one!
