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.
180+ pages includes:
How-to and tips.
Consonants.
Vowels.
Articulation posters with and without common spelling/pictures.
Word cards for each phoneme/grapheme match.
