Orthographic mapping is the cognitive process that we use to store and retrieve words by connecting their pronunciation, spelling, and meaning automatically. We can practice this skill by tapping phonemes and using Elkonin boxes. A sound wall arranges words by sounds, not by the alphabet, and matches phonemes with graphemes. They have images of students' mouths articulating the phonemes. Students can make the connection between what the phoneme sounds like and what their mouth should be doing as they say the phoneme.

Practice Phoneme Tapping: Participants will practice tapping phonemes to reinforce their understanding of the sounds within words.
Use Elkonin Boxes: Participants will use Elkonin boxes to visually segment words into individual phonemes, aiding in the orthographic mapping process.
Engage with a Sound Wall: Participants will interact with a sound wall that arranges words by sounds and matches phonemes with graphemes.
