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.

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.

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!

Very helpful in switching from Word Walls to Sound Walls… It was a little “big” even the small cards but I had them printed at a smaller scale and they fit/work great!
