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. Similar to a word wall, a grapheme wall is a tool for students to reference when spelling and reading words, with posters grouped by phonics patterns. 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. The dimensions of posters in this resource when printed at 100% scale are about 7" x 7.7". However, posters can easily be printed at any size by altering your printer settings. Directions for printing different sizes of posters are included in the "READ FIRST and TOU" file. This resource currently includes hexagon posters in three different color choices (Color + Wood, Black and White, and Color with No Wood) for the following categories graphemes: Consonants Short Vowels Alternate Letter Sounds Soft "c" and "g" Spelling Patterns Jobs of "Silent E" Double Consonants Digraphs Ending Trigraphs/ Long Spelling Right After Short Vowel pattern Glued/Welded Sounds Closed Syllable and VCe Exceptions Common Morphemes Less Common Graphemes Long Vowel Spelling Patterns R-Controlled Vowels R-Controlled Long Vowels Abstract Vowels Short Vowel Teams Schwa Spellings **UPDATED 7/8/22 to include editable (in PowerPoint) color-coded title hexagons for each category** **UPDATED 8/1/22 to include color-coded hexagon lock posters for hiding graphemes that have not been taught yet **UPDATED 8/11/22 to include editable color hexagons with no wood **UPDATED 5/13/24 to include a visual Hexagon Grouping Guide for arranging related spelling patterns and generalizations ★ See Preview for a list of all graphemes and keyword images included ★ You can grab this Grapheme Wall at a discount when you bundle it with the other aligned resources in the Phonics Visual Supports BUNDLE. ⭐️Want all of the Phonics Visual Supports PLUS over 3,000 more pages & slides for practicing the phonics skills students have learned?⭐️ → Check out the Phonics Practice and Visual Supports GROWING BUNDLE ___________________________________ You may also love… → Word Mapping Phoneme-Grapheme Segmentation Boxes and Letter Tiles → Heart Word Editable Templates → High Frequency and Heart Word Lists & Editable Slides Mapped and Sorted by Sound ___________________________________ © A Unique Little Teacher All rights reserved.

Are you looking for a sound wall with mouth pictures? This science of reading-aligned sound wall is perfect for your classroom. In this bundle I provided two sound wall options: sound wall with clip art sound wall with photos Individual Sound Wall with clipart Individual Sound Wall with photos What is a Sound Wall? A sound wall is a tool used to organize sounds (phonemes) and the letters (graphemes) used to make those sounds. A sound wall looks very similar to a word wall, but the organization is quite different. Rather than focusing on letters, a sound wall focuses on sounds. The word dog, for example, has both three letters and three phonemes, or sounds: /d/o/g/. The word phone, on the other hand, has five letters, but only three phonemes (sounds): /ph/o/n/. The realization that all letters make sounds can be a game changer for students. When we hear words, we hear phonemes put together (d/o/g/ = ‘dog’). While speaking is a natural process usually learned through immersion, reading and writing require more intentional instruction. The sound wall is an important component of this intentional instruction. What is the purpose of a sound wall? Reading and writing can be mysterious to the early learner. The twenty-six letters of the English alphabet make forty-four phonemes, or sounds, and there are over two hundred different ways to spell those sounds. Learning these phonemes helps enable early learners to ‘crack the code’. The purpose of a sound wall is to help students to focus on sounds as they relate to letters and words. The sound wall can be used throughout the day by both the teacher and the students, making reading and writing easier. How to Teach With the Sound Wall Begin by introducing the sound, followed by the letter(s) that most commonly make that sound. For example, the sound /k/ is most commonly made by the letters c, k, or the ck combination. Reference the wall regularly, including a daily review of each sound. Demonstrate mouth movements to effectively make the sounds shown (included in the Orthographic Mapping Mega Bundle). It’s important to practice these mouth movements with students. Small mirrors help children see what their lips and tongue are doing. This mouth work is optimally done in small groups to enable correction and coaching. What’s next? Integrate the sound wall into writing activities throughout the day! Make certain that students know it’s their sound wall, and they should use it often! Be sure to take a minute to admire your handiwork and the engagement and learning that are sure to follow. Your sound wall will be a game changer! TERMS OF USE: You can reproduce the pages for classroom use only. The fonts I used are free for personal use. Duplication of this resource for commercial purposes or for the entire school is strictly forbidden.
