Improve students' orthographic mapping without taking up an entire wall with these personal sound walls!
This is a mini version of a printable and digital sound wall for students to use as their personal reference sheets. You can use these in a writing folder, set up as a file folder resource, or simply laminate to keep on hand as a reference sheet. The digital Google Slides version allows you to display the mini sound walls and cover up the sounds students have not learned yet, as well as add your own words under each sound card.
Based on the Science of Reading, these personal sound walls offer simple posters that visually represent phonemes, aiding students in their spelling, reading, and writing. By supporting orthographic mapping, these personal sound walls help students connect sounds to their written forms, making it an invaluable tool for their literacy development.
This Personal Sound Wall includes:
- All 44 sound cards with letter(s), picture, and spelling patterns in color or black and white on 2 pages:
- Consonants page: pig, ball, turtle, dog, kite, goat, monkey, nose, king, fish, volcano, thumb, father, sun, zebra, sheep, treasure, hat, chair, jellyfish, whale, watermelon, yo-yo, leaf, rabbit
- Vowel Valley page: cake, apple, bee, bed, bike, igloo, boat, octopus, glue, up, cube, book, claw, boy, cow, her, car, corn, banana
- Consonant phoneme groups labeled
- Example words showing the different ways to spell each phoneme
- Option to have no example words
- Mouth formation labels on select vowel sounds
- Color and black and white versions
- Google Slides version with editable word lists and lock covers to cover up sounds not yet learned
Personal sound walls are ideal for students to have as their personal reference. You can use these in a writing folder, set up as a file folder resource, or simply laminate to keep on hand as a reference sheet.
Use the digital version displayed on the board to introduce new sounds and review sounds you've taught, add your spelling words to the the corresponding phonemes, and model how to check for decoding and spelling using the personal sound wall throughout the school day.
These also work great in small groups or for one-on-one sessions. The digital version can be used when working virtually with a student.
The best part? Your students will quickly learn how to use this resource as a reference and improve their spelling and reading!
TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Special & Loved said, “I put this into a reading folder that I have for the kids to reference and it helps them see the sounds that we are talking about and really decide what sound they are hearing and seeing! Will be using for years to come! Thank you.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Audrey said, “The student I am tutoring is dyslexic and this portable sound wall has been a game changer! Not only can we reference it at any second, but she loves how interactive it is and how we can pull it up at any time!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Xatavius H. said, “I love this printable sound wall; perfect fit into student notebooks. I teach 5th grade, but some students do not know their letter sounds. This resource is very helpful and shows them mouth & teeth formation to correctly say the sound.”
