Learning the “TH” Sound

Hey there! Today, we’re going to have some fun learning about the “th” sound. Did you know that when the letters “t” and “h” come together, they can make different sounds? Let’s explore these sounds together!

The Soft “TH” Sound

Sometimes, “th” makes a soft sound. Let’s look at some words where “th” is soft:

  • “th” as in thunder
  • “th” as in thump
  • “th” as in think
  • “th” as in thumb

Can you hear the soft “th” sound in these words? Let’s try some more:

  • “th” as in things
  • “th” as in thorn

Sometimes, the soft “th” sound is at the end of a word:

  • “th” as in earth
  • “th” as in north
  • “th” as in south
  • “th” as in moth
  • “th” as in math

Practice the Soft “TH” Sound

Let’s practice reading some words with the soft “th” sound. Try to read them with me:

Now, let’s try some words where the soft “th” is at the end:

  • cloth
  • path
  • both
  • fourth
  • fifth

The Hard “TH” Sound

Sometimes, “th” makes a hard sound. Let’s look at some words with the hard “th” sound:

  • smooth

Great Job!

You’re doing an amazing job learning the “th” sounds! Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a “th” sound expert. Remember, practice makes perfect, and learning can be lots of fun!

  1. Can you think of any words you use every day that have the “th” sound? Try saying them out loud. Do they have the soft or hard “th” sound?
  2. Have you ever noticed the “th” sound in your favorite storybook or cartoon? What words did you hear, and how did they sound?
  3. Can you make up a funny sentence using as many “th” words as you can? Share it with your friends or family and see if they can add more “th” words to it!
  1. Sound Hunt: Go on a “th” sound hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects or pictures that have the “th” sound in their names. For example, you might find a toothbrush or a bath. Make a list of all the items you find and share it with your friends or family. Can you find more soft “th” sounds or hard “th” sounds?

  2. Story Time: Create a short story using as many “th” words as you can. Try to include both soft and hard “th” sounds. For example, “There was a thin moth that flew north to find its brother.” Share your story with the class and see if they can spot all the “th” words!

  3. Art and Craft: Make a “th” sound collage. Cut out pictures from magazines or draw your own pictures of things that have the “th” sound. Glue them onto a piece of paper and label each picture with the correct “th” word. Display your collage in the classroom or at home to remind you of the different “th” sounds.
