About this worksheet
Nine picture cards with TH at the end of the word.
What kids practice
Articulation means making speech sounds clearly. For the TH sound, the tongue tip rests gently between the teeth and air flows out over it. TH can be quiet (thumb, bath) or have the voice on (this, feather). TH is one of the last sounds many children learn, so some kids are still working on it in 3rd grade. A child who is practicing TH often says f, t or d instead (fumb for thumb, tink for think, dis for this). These sheets climb the same ladder speech therapists use: the sound alone, then syllables, words, phrases, sentences, reading and everyday talking. Common Core doesn't cover speech sounds, so these sheets have no Common Core code.
Watch for
- Saying f for th. Check in the mirror that the tongue, not the lip, touches the top teeth.
- Popping the sound like t or d. Keep the tongue there and let the air flow slowly.
- Moving up too fast. If TH slips in sentences, practice phrases for a few more days.
- If your child is hard to understand, frustrated when talking, or not improving, ask a speech-language pathologist for an evaluation.
It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full articulation: the TH sound guide for 3rd grade.
