Today, we are going to have fun learning about three special sounds: ‘th’, ‘f’, and ‘v’. These sounds can be a little tricky because they are similar, but don’t worry! We will learn how to say them together.
First, let’s try the ‘th’ sound. Get a mirror and look at your mouth. Stick out your tongue just a little bit and gently rest your teeth on it. Now, blow air out. Can you say these words: think, thin, moth? Great job!
Next, let’s try the ‘f’ sound. This time, rest your teeth on your bottom lip and blow air out. Can you say these words: fog, life, stuff? You’re doing amazing!
Finally, let’s try the ‘v’ sound. Rest your teeth against the inside of your lips and blow through them. Can you say these words: van, love, brave? Fantastic!
Now that you know how to make these sounds, let’s play a game! Cover your mouth with your hand and say one of the sounds to a friend or family member. Can they guess which sound you are making? It’s a fun way to practice!
Remember, practice makes perfect. Keep trying these sounds and soon you’ll be a pro at saying ‘th’, ‘f’, and ‘v’. Have fun learning!
Sound Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find objects that start with the ‘th’, ‘f’, and ‘v’ sounds. For example, you might find a fork for ‘f’, a van for ‘v’, or a thumbtack for ‘th’. Share your findings with a friend or family member and practice saying the words together.
Sound Sorting Activity: Create three boxes or areas labeled ‘th’, ‘f’, and ‘v’. Gather a collection of small objects or pictures. Sort them into the correct box based on the sound they start with. For example, a picture of a fish goes in the ‘f’ box, while a picture of a thumb goes in the ‘th’ box. This will help you recognize and practice the different sounds.
Sound Story Time: Make up a short story using as many ‘th’, ‘f’, and ‘v’ words as you can. For example, “The thin fox found a van.” Share your story with someone and see if they can spot all the special sounds. This will help you become more comfortable using these sounds in sentences.
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
These letters make very similar sounds, so they are easy to get mixed up. Get a mirror and look at your mouth. Stick out your tongue, rest your teeth gently on your tongue, and blow. Can you say these words: think, thin, moth? Rest your teeth on top of your lip and blow. Can you say these words: fog, life, stuff? Rest your teeth against the inside of your lips and blow through them. Can you say these words: van, love, brave? Good job! Now that you know how to make the three different sounds, why don’t you play a game? Cover your mouth and say the sound to someone else. Can they work out which sound you are making?
