Sound Wall with Mouth Pictures Plus 350+ Orthographically Mapped Sight Words

Sound wall with mouth pictures and Vowel Valley based on the Science of Reading in your classroom with real photos! We have included over 350+ sight words that have been orthographically mapped for you and your kindergarten and first grade students. These words are editable, so you can add your own words if you need to.

Sound Walls help students learn to read and write based on the 44 phonemes in the English language. Students focus on the sound and refer to the display to remember how the sound can be spelled.

In this resource, you will find photo instructions from my classroom. I spent a year developing this based on student feedback and extensive research about the Science of Reading. In this resource, you will find a link to also receive free teacher tips and individual sound walls!

In this Sound Wall and Vowel Valley Unit, you will find:

• Beautiful & Detailed Photo Set-Up Instructions
• Display Word Posters for Vowel Valley and the (Consonant) Sound Wall
• Helpful Photo Reference Sheets
• 44 Phoneme Cards
• Mouth Articulation Photos of Real Mouths
• Voiced/Unvoiced Partner Labels
• Organization Labels for all 44 Phonemes
• Sound Spelling Cards to be added gradually as you TEACH each sound!

• 2 versions are included so you can choose if you want a pocket-chart-sized wall or a larger wall!
