Sound it out! includes the following resources:
• Teacher Guide – This book contains valuable and detailed information to support your phonemic awareness and phonics instruction. There is one full page dedicated to each phoneme, with information on how the sound is articulated, and the most common ways of spelling it.
• Sound Wall cards – for building a Sound Wall display in your classroom. There is one card for each phoneme in the English language. * Each card has a mouth photograph and a keyword picture.
• Spelling cards – also for the Sound Wall display. These cards should be placed underneath the photo/ picture cards as each new letter-sound correspondence is taught.
• Flipbook – for teaching/focusing on a particular phoneme. On one side of the page is a large mouth photograph, which can be shown to the children. On the other side are instructions for the teacher.
