Sound Wall Reservation

Why Sound Wall Cards?

Sounds are the Building Blocks of Language: Help students associate sounds (phonemes) to spellings for those sounds/print patterns.
Promotes Speech to Print: This aligns with how children develop - they learn to speak long before they learn to read and write!
Student-Friendly: Sound walls are set up from the learners' point of view because they are organized around the sounds a student hears, rather than the letter a word starts with (think about the words gnome, celery, and knife!).
Develop and Foster an Understanding of Language: Use the sound wall as an explicit tool for teaching and learning.
Help Students Learn to Read: Sound walls support students in learning to read unfamiliar words on their own because they are focused on transfer of skills to multiple words.
Assist with Correct Articulation: Which can lead to more accurate spelling (think about the student who says ‘vis’ instead of ’this’).
