Sound of the week /th/

Don't get tricked!

When we make the hard /th/ sound and the soft airy /th/ sound our tongue pokes out. We know not to get tricked by /f/! When we say /f/ our tongue stays inside our mouth and our top teeth are on our bottom lip. We made mouths with tongues that can be kept in and hidden or poked out to say /th/.

A book with /th/ in the back and a cloth

We made a bubble bath with words we found in our reading books and around the classroom. We did this as an independent activity as we found them over the day. 

Before writing a word on a bubble, the person who found it had to decide which sound the /th/ made. The dark blue bubbles say the hard (voiced) /th/ sound and the light blue bubbles say the soft (unvoiced) /th/ sound. 

As you can see the bath is overflowing. /th/ is very popular in words.
