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.

I am still in the process of setting this up, but love how thorough it is and all the options provided. Thank you for all the support!

I really love the pictures that came with this resource. I enjoy seeing my students walk up to the wall and try to make their mouths into the same shape as the picture. It really helps when they have a little free time and they want to practice this on their own and take a vowel valley walk in the classroom. Thank you for taking the time to create this wonderful resource.
