Description
This science of reading-aligned Sound Wall Teacher Guide with Lesson Plans and Student Sound Wall Activities has everything you need to explicitly and systematically introduce and utilize a sound wall (not included) in your Kindergarten, 1st grade or 2nd grade classroom. Over and over, I kept hearing the question, “Christina, I’ve bought my sound wall but now what?” My intention with this resource is to educate teachers on how to make a sound wall a meaningful learning tool AND to provide you with explicit and systematic lesson plans for introducing and using a sound wall with your students.

I created this resource as a companion to my Sound Wall, but this teacher guide can be used with any sound wall or phonics scope & sequence! Each lesson plan is a step-by-step guide for introducing the phoneme & sound card, articulation gestures and graphemes.

Best sound wall ever! I love that it includes lessons as well as an option for a virtual sound wall for my hybrid students. This has helped my students so much.

I am incredibly pleased with this sound wall. Last year I pieced together my own but was so pleased to find this over the summer. It is great and the kids love the pictures.

This resource has changed the way I teach phonics and phonemic awareness! The individual sound walls and student dictionaries have been wonderful resources for my second grade writers and the lessons have been wonderful resources for their teacher!

I love the sound wall Lessons resource! You can use with any phonics program you have already and if you don’t have one, it comes with a scope and sequence to follow! Using with my kiddos this week!

This resource has saved me so much time! Students love the lessons. I love the lessons, scope and sequence. District is purchasing new reading curriculum and with a little rearranging to meet new scope and sequence, I will still use Miss Winter’s Bliss resources. Science of Reading is the shift and these resources align perfectly.

I have been envisioning a resource just like this! This amazing resource goes above and beyond my expectations of how a sound wall can be implemented into daily instruction while involving the students! This is one resource everyone should have! It has so many of the facts used with each phonics skill and it’s all in one place! I usually go to several books to ensure that I have all the statistics/spelling patterns down before teaching a phonics skill, this has it all in one place! AMAZING RESOURCE!

Amazing resource. I love that their are specific lessons to guide my phonics teaching.
Laurie OFarrell (verified owner) –
This is a systematic way to teach all phonemes. It totally shocked me when students began describing sounds without me prompting them citing that sounds were voiced or unvoiced, explaining where their tongue and teeth are for each sound and then applying that knowledge when reading words. The routine of the lessons helps students connect with the formation of each sound.

This resource is everything I needed to make my sound wall more than classroom decoration! I love the part 1 of the resource where it shows exactly what a sound wall is and how to use it. The sound introduction lessons are easy to follow and engaging. My favorite part is how you shared with us how to have students interact with it to make a truly meaningful tool in the classroom! Love!
