A sound wall is a classroom display that is based on the phonology of our language; the different speech sounds (phonemes) are displayed rather than just the 26 letters of the alphabet are in a word wall.

 A sound wall is typically set up in two sections: vowels and consonants. Each phoneme represented includes an articulatory image and example words that illustrate the different graphemes for each phoneme.
