Have you heard of a sound wall? It's a great alternative to the traditional 'A-Z Word Wall'! Words are categorised by the sounds and manner of articulation, making it easier for students to read, spell and say them. If you're following a Science of Reading approach - this resource will be a game changer! And if you're just looking for a way to help your students, this sound wall is the way to go.
200+ pages includes:
How-to and tips.
Consonants.
Vowels.
Articulation posters with and without common spelling/pictures.
Word cards for each phoneme/grapheme match (colour coded option & with B&W background).
Displays and headings.
Visual contents guide.
'Unlock the Sound' lock covers.

Important
Because this resource is made by an Australian educator, it is targeted towards our accent/pronunciation. However, adaptions can be made for educators in other countries - just reach out and I'll do my best to help! Note: In the original 'Pink Blush Theme' resource, I also included the files separated into PDF categories. Due to the graphics in this resource, the size was too large for TPT. However, please reach out via mrschalmerscherubs@gmail.com and I'm happy to provide a download link.
