Phonics /TH/ /th/

 Hi everyone!


The last sound we have learnt this term is the /th/ sound. This syllable can be pronounced as: 


/ð/(voiced): This, that, these, those... 

/θ/(voiceless): Three, thief, thin, think...


For both sounds we have to place our tongue between our upper and lower teeth, for the first one there is going to be vocal cord vibration and for the second there isn't. The easiest way to tell the difference is to put your fingers on your throat and see if you can feel vibrations.




TH is for... THIEF

Phonics /OO/ /oo/

Hi everyone!


Lately, we've been working on the /oo/ sound. We've learnt that it can be pronounced as: 


- /ʊ/ (a short u): Book, foot, cook, wood... 

// (a long u): Spoon, food, moon, broom... 




Those two sounds resemble the singing of a cuckoo, that's why we made our own CUCKOO CLOCKS
