Many people old and young do not fully understand the English language and the different sounds letters make and why. I feel like a sound wall can help students make visual and audio connections between letters and sounds thus helping them understand the English language.

The human brain is hardwired for oral language, NOT for reading or writing. It is so important for for learners to perceive sound - how their face looks, how the mouth feels, ad where the air flows when pronouncing sounds. We as educators MUST have a solid understanding of our language system so that we can best teach students. Children perceive sound through how it FEELS and LOOKS!!!  Truly understanding our language system will build foundational skills in our own learning so that we can properly teach children to move from speech to print (and not the other way around). Having this knowledge will allow us to focus on the learner's point of view and attach phonemes to graphemes over time.
