New Generation Lively Letters™ Lowercase Sound Wall Poster
- Sound walls are highly recommended in the research for use in classrooms as students learn about the sounds of the language and their associated letters. If you’re in need of a sound wall for your classroom, look no further. This large, colorful, and sturdy poster provides a great visual reinforcement for students as they learn their letter sounds and how the 44 sounds of the English language are classified according to their mouth movements. It features the picture letters from the Lively Letters program.
- The Lively Letters program greatly improves reading skills in 6-8 weeks with engaging, multisensory methods and materials that are as powerful as they are fun for general ed. and struggling readers. The program features colorful images, comical stories, mouth / hand cues, and music for dramatic gains in phonemic awareness, reading, spelling, and speech production skills. Published by Reading with TLC, and used by over 80,000 educators and 15 million students worldwide since 1990, features clinically proven strategies that are research-based and aligned with the Science of Reading.
- This unique poster contains all 47 picture letters with the engaging, lowercase Lively Letters characters that depict the correct mouth movements for the 44 speech sounds. Using powerful mnemonics (memory tricks), these images are directly embedded into the letters. Letter sound introduction stories and step-by step instructions for the Lively Letters program are found in the Lively Letters Instruction Manual or as part of the Lively Letters Basic Set (both sold separately).
- The 36” x 48” poster displays the Lively Letters single and double picture letters, depicting the consonants and vowels sorted according to sound properties, as recommended in the Science of Reading for sound walls. For example, the voiced and voiceless (noisy and quiet) consonant cognate pairs, such as /p/ and /b/ are paired together as partner sounds and consonant sound groups, such as the nasal sounds (/m/, /n/, /ng/) are grouped together. Vowel sounds are categorized according to type as well.
- Educators and clinicians love hanging these beautiful posters on their classroom and office walls, as they provide the needed visual prompts and reinforcements students need as they work on their phonemic awareness, phonics skills, and speech production skills.
