So far, this has been my most favorite TPT purchase!!! I put up the sound wall in January of ’23 and I saw such growth with my kinders. They referred to the wall often during writing workshop and small group. I look forward to using Mrs. Winter’s ideas for literacy centers using the sound wall next year. Thank you so much, Mrs. Winter!!!
