Sound walls with mouth pictures are an important part of the science of reading. They help students to understand how speech maps to print using consonant and vowel phonemes, and how the two work together to create meaning.

By providing a visual representation of the relationship between speech and print, sound walls help students to see the connections between the two.

How Can I Use This?

Sound walls are just one tool that can help us to improve the reading skills of the students we serve. With this visual representation of the sounds that make up words, sound walls can help them to better understand how spoken language maps onto written language.
