Today, we’re going to have fun learning about a special sound made by two letters. This sound will help you read and write every day!
The letter “t” makes the sound /t/, like in the word “top.” The letter “h” makes the sound /h/, like in the word “hat.” But when we put them together, they make a new sound: /th/!

Now you know how to find the “th” sound in words! Try listening for it when you read or talk. Can you think of other words with the “th” sound? Keep practicing, and you’ll become a reading and writing star!
Sound Detective: Go on a “th” sound hunt around your home or classroom. Find objects or pictures that have the “th” sound at the beginning or end of their names. For example, you might find a “toothbrush” or a “thermometer.” Share your findings with a friend or family member and see who can find the most “th” sounds!
Make a “th” Sound Book: Create a small book using folded paper. On each page, draw or cut out pictures from magazines that have the “th” sound in their names. Write the word under each picture. For example, you might draw a “thumb” or cut out a picture of a “bath.” Share your book with the class or your family.
Story Time with “th”: Think of a short story or a silly sentence using as many “th” words as you can. For example, “The thick thief thought about the thunder.” Share your story with a friend or family member and see if they can come up with their own “th” story!
