Introducing new sounds using Bridge to Reading's Sound Wall Cards

Join Ms. Ruthie as she uses Bridge to Reading's Sound Wall Cards to introduce new sounds with her first graders. When a new sound is introduced, she uses a Sound Wall Card to support and guide students to learn the correct sound articulation. Each card includes a picture of a child's mouth making the sound as a visual cue that helps children see and understand what their tongue and mouth are doing when articulating this sound. The card also includes a recognizable keyword picture and a written representation of the sound. This is how learners perceive the sounds in the words they hear. They pay attention to how their mouth feels, looks, and acts when articulating sounds. The graphemes or letters that stand for the sound are listed on the right side of each card. This helps children connect the sounds they hear with the print that represents them. Bridge to Reading Sound Wall Cards support learners and give them the tools to apply the spellings to new words.
Bridge to Reading Sound Wall Cards not only support learners but also equip them with the foundational tools required to confidently navigate the realm of spelling and literacy. Beyond their individual value, these cards can contribute to an immersive learning environment. They can be assembled into a sound wall, fostering an interactive space that engages students in a tactile and visual exploration of sounds and their representations.
