A Personal Sound Reference for Spanish Phonics Instruction

Students learning to read and spell in Spanish need clear, explicit instruction that reflects how the Spanish sound system works. Accurate pronunciation, strong sound–symbol connections, and meaningful work with Spanish syllables (sílabas) are essential for decoding, spelling, and fluent reading.

The Spanish Personal Sound Wall gives each student a personal visual reference for Spanish phonics instruction. Designed for individual use, this full-color sound wall allows students to actively engage with sounds, letters, and Spanish syllables during instruction rather than relying only on a large classroom display. This tool supports phonological awareness and early Spanish literacy.

The Spanish Personal Sound Wall includes a key word, phoneme, grapheme, mouth position image, and Spanish syllables to support accurate articulation and strong sound–symbol correspondence. Students use the personal sound wall to blend sounds, decode words, and support accurate pronunciation throughout the day.

Grounded in the Science of Reading, this personal sound wall supports literacy instruction in Spanish without relying on translation. Because of this, it integrates seamlessly with any core curriculum and supports consistent Spanish phonics practice across classroom, intervention, and home settings.
