Sound Story Pictures
The sound story is used to teach the sounds in the English language and the letter or letter pattern which represents each sound. Each picture represents a specific sound. For example, a picture of a dog growling shows the /r/ sound. It is important to understand that the pictures are not used as key words, as in d/dog. For example the picture of the growling dog does not show the d sound. Is shows the actual sound that is heard when the dog growls.
You can listen to the sound story to hear the sound for each sound picture under the Audio tab on the main menu.

Teachers, tutors, and parents may download these pictures and use them to create bulletin boards, flashcards, games, and other instructional materials for their own students, as needed. These pictures are copyrighted by Kathryn J. Davis and may not be shared except through links to this site. The pictures may not be used to make materials to sell.
You can see the color version of the sound pictures here. Pictures are also available as black line drawings without added color. Each picture represents a speech sound in the English language. These are NOT key word pictures. The pictures represent the sound itself, for example the call of the crow is "aw, aw, aw," the dog growls "rrr," and the sound of the violin is "l, l, l." This approach makes it easier for students to learn the sounds for the letters of the alphabet. Some beginning students are not yet able to isolate beginning sounds when the alphabet letters are taught using key words. If they hear or pronounce a key word, they cannot mentally separate the beginning sound from the whole word. Note: For some of the sound pictures shown below the beginning sound for the name of the picture is the same as the sound it represents (ball/b, wind/w), but this is accidental.
