More About This Resource
This science of reading-aligned Sound Wall Teacher Guide with Lesson Plans and Student Sound Wall Activities has everything you need to explicitly and systematically introduce and utilize a sound wall (not included) in your Kindergarten, 1st grade or 2nd grade classroom. Over and over, I kept hearing the question, “Christina, I’ve bought my sound wall but now what?” My intention with this resource is to educate teachers on how to make a sound wall a meaningful learning tool AND to provide you with explicit and systematic lesson plans for introducing and using a sound wall with your students.

I created this resource as a companion to my Sound Wall, but this teacher guide can be used with any sound wall or phonics scope & sequence! Each lesson plan is a step-by-step guide for introducing the phoneme & sound card, articulation gestures and graphemes.
