Description
Sound wall with REAL pictures, PLUS editable sound wall mini-lessons!
A sound wall is an interactive instructional tool that supports students as they develop into proficient readers and writers. Unlike a traditional word wall, a sound wall focuses on the individual speech sounds (phonemes) in English and the spelling patterns (graphemes) that represent those sounds. Sound walls help students develop strong phoneme grapheme connections.
This sound wall includes everything you need to support students as they transition from speech (spoken language) to print (reading and writing). To help you get started integrating this sound wall into your daily routine, I have included over 150 digital (EDITABLE) Sound Wall Mini-Lessons. All spelling patterns come with an explicit and systematic mini-lesson that includes, proper sound articulation, sound identification, sound placement, word reading, sentence reading and word dictation (spelling). I have also included a description of all key spelling generalizations in the slide margins. For example, I describe all the key patterns that are important to teach when introducing or reviewing each sound such as, when to use a _CK instead of a C or K, when _dge is used, and why words such as horse, goose and large have a final silent E.
Mini-lessons come in both PowerPoint AND Google Slides™!
This sound wall can be used with any curriculum or program to strengthen instruction and promote proficient foundational skills in reading and writing!
The sound wall itself, has two main components – a vowel wall (commonly referred to as a vowel valley) and a consonant wall (I call it a consonant corner). Both components, force students to pay close attention to the individual sounds and the graphemes or spelling patterns that represent those sounds.
All graphemes (spelling patterns) are listed in order of frequency. Please see Hanna’s research in the Journal of Literacy Research to learn more.
