Invite them to sing along and clap whenever they hear the "th" sound. After the song, ask them to share any words they remember from the song that have the \"th\" sound. Twinkle- you tube (simple learning)-Word wall **E-learning application used** **Lesson Outcome** **Teaching Strategies** **E-learning application used** - Identify the \"th\" sound in words. - Differentiate between voiced (/ð/) and unvoiced (/θ/) \"th\" sounds. - Recognize and read simple words containing \"th.\" Brainstorming, Discussion. Twinkle- you tube (simple learning)-Word wall 1. **Magic Sound Introduction (5 minutes)** **Objective:** Introduce the /th/ sound as a \"magic sound.\" **Activity:** Show the \"T\" and \"H\" cards separately, then put them together to make the /th/ sound. Say, "When T and H are together, they make a special sound -- /th/!" **Practice:** Have students repeat the /th/ sound with you while making a \"magic wand\" motion with their hands. 2. **Mirror Practice (3 minutes)** **Objective:** Help students learn the correct mouth position. **Activity:** Give each student a mirror (or just demonstrate if mirrors aren't available) and model sticking the tongue between the teeth to make the /th/ sound. Let them try it with you. 3. **Active Game: \"Find the /th/\" (5 minutes)** **Objective:** Identify and say the /th/ sound. **Activity:** Spread out picture cards around the room. When you say, "Go find /th/," students find and pick up a card with a /th/ word. They return to you and say the word. High-energy, quick, and fun! 4. **Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down (3 minutes)** **Objective:** Differentiate /th/ from other sounds. **Activity:** Say a mix of words, some with the /th/ sound (like \"thumb\" or \"bath\") and some without it (like \"cat\" or \"dog\"). Students give a thumbs up if they hear the /th/ sound and a thumbs down if they don't. This provides a quick check for understanding. **Wrap up** Gather students in a circle. **Quick Review Game**: Say a word and ask, "Does it have \'th\'?" (e.g., \"cat\" -- No; \"bath\" -- Yes). **Exit Ticket**: Before leaving, each student says one \"th\" word they remember from the lesson. **REAL LIFE SITUATIONS AND CROSS-CURRICULAR** **INTEGRATION** **Differentiation** **Assessment** **\"Th\" Detective:** Send students home with an activity to find /th/ words in books or around the house and share them the next day. - For higher achieving students, Encourage them to make their own sentences with /th/ words, or use two /th/ words in one sentence (e.g., \"The thirsty thumb\...\").. - For lower attaining students, offer additional support with one-on-one or in small groups to practice the mouth position for /th/ sounds with hand mirrors.. Observe participation during activities and their ability to recognize and produce the \"th\" sound. **Extension (if time allows):** - Introduce a \"Th\" song or chant. - Have students bring items from home with \"th\" sounds for a show-and-tell the next day. **Daily Lesson Plan**
