Hi, I'm Amy Murray. I'm a former kindergarten teacher with more than 12 years of classroom experience turned teacher-author. I blog at Teachingexceptionalkinders.com. I am LETRS trained and I love learning about the latest best practices in teaching reading (and the Science of Reading). I use what I learn to help teachers to save precious time so they can spend more time doing what makes them happy outside of the classroom.
The tools I use to implement a sound wall in my kindergarten classroom are simple, highly-effective, and visually-appealing. I am so excited to be able to share them with you so that you can implement a successful sound wall with your students, too!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Sound Wall?
A sound wall is a way to organize phonemes and spelling patterns, grouped by phonemes instead of beginning letters. A traditional word wall contains frequently-used words that students might reference while writing, organized by first letter. However, these words can be hard for students to find, since kids are looking for the first sound they hear and not the first letter. If a student wanted to spell the word phone, they likely won't find it because it would be under the letter p.
A sound wall makes this process easier for students. After they say a word and think about the first sound they hear, they can navigate the sound wall to find the picture that matches phoneme they hear. So a student could find the word phone under the picture of a fish for the /f/ phoneme.
