Science Of Reading (SOR) Sound Wall with Mouth Pictures|Individual Sound Wall

Ditch the traditional Word Wall and switch to a Science of Reading aligned Sound Wall! This comprehensive resource helps students bridge the gap between phonemes (sounds) and graphemes (the letters that represent them) by focusing on how sounds are actually produced in the mouth.

By using real mouth photos, students can see exactly where their tongue, teeth, and lips should be, making it an essential tool for phonemic awareness, speech development, and orthographic mapping.

What’s Included in This Bundle:

• The Consonant Wall: Organized by the manner of articulation (Stops, Nasals, Fricatives, Affricates, Glides, and Liquids) to help students understand the physical mechanics of speech.
• The Vowel Valley: A visual representation of vowel sounds organized by mouth position (from high-front to low-open to high-back), including diphthongs and r-controlled vowels.
• Real Mouth Photos & Illustrated Clips: High-quality, diverse photos of children’s mouths for every phoneme, plus colorful clip art for keyword association.
• Phoneme & Grapheme Cards: Each card features the sound, a visual, and the most common spelling patterns (e.g., the /f/ card includes f, ph, and gh).
• Individual Student Sound Walls: Two versions (Vowel Valley and Consonant Side) that students can keep in their folders or at their desks for independent writing and reading.
• “Sound Locks”: Functional “lock” graphics to cover sounds that haven’t been taught yet, allowing your wall to grow with your curriculum.

Why Teachers Love This BEST SELLING Resource:

• SOR Aligned: Moves away from letter-name memorization to sound-first instruction.
• Supports All Learners: Extremely beneficial for ELL (English Language Learners), students with speech delays, and those with dyslexia.
• Flexible Printing: Available in multiple sizes to fit any classroom space, from large bulletin boards to small group stations.
• Comprehensive: Covers tricky concepts like voiced vs. unvoiced sounds, schwa, and complex blends.

How to Use:

1. Introduce the Sound: Use the mouth photo to model the position.
2. Unlock the Wall: Remove the “lock” once the sound is introduced.
3. Bridge to Writing: Have students use their individual desk versions to help them spell during independent writing time.

Perfect for: Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, Speech Therapy, and Reading Intervention.
