The 'th' Sound - Phonics Teaching PowerPoint Lesson with Worksheets - PowerPoint

This Phonics Teaching PowerPoint lesson is designed to help Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) students learn about the 'th' sound, a common digraph in the English language. The lesson introduces the 'th' sound through interactive slides and encourages students to practice making the sound out loud. It also includes a video to enhance understanding. The presentation then guides students through examples of words that start with the 'th' sound, such as 'think', 'throw', and 'theatre', and words that end with the 'th' sound, like 'path', 'month', and 'mouth'. This approach helps learners to identify the sound at the beginning and end of words.

Accompanying the PowerPoint are worksheets that provide hands-on activities for students to reinforce their learning. One worksheet asks children to circle pictures that begin or end with the 'th' sound, while another challenges them to complete words by adding the 'th' digraph and matching them to the correct pictures. Words such as 'under', 'read', 'thirsty', and 'thimble' are used in this exercise. For further practice, there's a word search activity where students find 'th' words and use them in sentences, thereby applying their phonics skills in a practical context. This comprehensive resource aids in developing early reading and writing abilities by focusing on the pronunciation and recognition of the 'th' sound.
