I've heard about sound walls but have never used them. I'm excited to go and build my own. Especially for special needs kids its great for them to have the facial visuals. Thanks for creating all these awesome materials!

Thank you for this amazing learning opportunity Emma. This webinar was well paced, extremely informative and will change my literacy practice with the students I work with. As a TA I am looking forward to making a travelling sound wall to use as I move between learners.
