My Project

The sound wall display will help my students visually see how the mouth articulates certain sounds. The sound wall will be displayed throughout the year. My English Language Learners and Special Education students will benefit greatly from this visual display because it includes pictures and letters. The Science of Reading is a researched Phonics program that I have been professionally developed it and I am ready to implement this technique.

The Science of Reading affix linking cubes will allow the tactile learner to manipulate parts of a word and understand the meanings of unfamiliar words .

They will also be able to reference the Science of Reading wall daily as an aid in Reading and Writing.
