Day 1
Objective: Sound and blend words using the digraph
th.
Review
We have learned that two letters that
work together to make one sound are called a digraph. What is the digraph that
we have already studied? –ck When is the –ck spelling used? After a short vowel
sound. What is a digraph? Two letters that work
together to make one sound.
Today we are going to study a new digraph. Show the Thumb
picture card. Make the sound with me by sticking your
tongue between your teeth and blowing air between them. If you do this right, I
will be able to see a little bit of your tongue. This sound is spelled with th. When you use
the th sound, it is the one time you can stick your tongue out at me and not
get in trouble!
Sometimes you do it with your voice is turned off, /th/, as in thin, think, throat, and with. Sometimes you do it with your
voice turned on as in the middle of feather,
/th/, as in those, this, and that.
What do
we call two consonants that work together to make one sound? digraph
What
sound does the digraph th make? /th/ or /th/
What has
to show to make the /th/ sound? your
tongue
What is
the spelling for the Thumb sound?
/th/ and /th/
PA (oral)
Listen to
these words and see if you can hear the digraph /th/ or not. If you hear the /th/
sound in the word, I want you to give me a thumbs up. If you don’t hear /th/ in
the word, give me a thumbs down. So if I say thin, /th/ /ĭ/ /n/, you would give me a thumbs up because the /th/
sound is in the word thin. If I say tin, /t/ /ĭ / /n/, you would give me a
thumbs down because you do not hear /th/ in the word tin.

Review
Two
letters working together to make one sound are called a _digraph_.
-ck is a
_digraph__.
The
sound of –ck is _/k/_.
-ck is
used after a _short_ vowel sound.
-ck is
used most often at the _end_ of a word.
The /k/
sound at the end of a word with a short vowel sound is usually spelled with _-ck_.
The
other digraph we have studied is _th_.
The
sounds of the digraph th are _/th/_ and _/th/_.
