A grapheme wall (similar to a sound wall) is a way to organize phonemes (speech sounds) and the graphemes (letters/groups of letters) that represent them. Keyword images are used to help students associate spelling patterns with the sounds they represent.

The Science of Reading (SoR) shows us that students need explicit phonics instruction and support to develop phoneme-grapheme correspondence. This grapheme wall is perfect for students in Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd grade and beyond and makes an amazing addition to intervention and ELD/EL/ESL classrooms.
