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. Unlike traditional word walls, this sound wall organizes words by sounds (phonemes) rather than alphabetical order, providing students with a more effective reference when reading and spelling. 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 wonderful resource! A great deal of time and thought was put into creating this. Love it and cannot wait to use it this year. I purchased another sound wall and had to throw it out because of the errors. This one is excellent. Mrs. Winter also provides support and guidance with her videos. She is great!

This is a very thorough resource! I love the different sizes available to fit any wall space. My favorite part is the locks because with the way I organize my classroom, we are always “unlocking” things- my students will LOVE unlocking new spelling patterns every week!
