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. In early literacy instruction, accurate pronunciation, strong sound–symbol connections, and meaningful work with Spanish syllables (sílabas) are essential for building decoding, spelling, and oral language foundations.

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

Each 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 sound wall to practice sound production, blend syllables, and build confidence with Spanish phonics throughout the day.

Grounded in the Science of Reading, this personal sound wall supports Spanish literacy instruction 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.
