Pronunciation Practice and Listening Exercise - Listening and practicing the 'th' sound

Here's a handout that I use to help my students practice and learn how to pronounce the 'th' sound.

Here's a handout that I use to help my students practice and learn how to pronounce the 'th' sound.

First, I show them how to make the 'th' sound. Then, I go through the words line by line. I have the students first listen to me pronounce the word and then I get them to repeat after me. I go through Part 1 several times. After that, I test their listening skills by doing part 2 of the handout. They have to circle the word they hear me say.

Part 1 - Practice saying these words with me

 

Column 1----------------- Column 2
1 sick--------------------thick 
2 sum---------------------thumb 
3 sink--------------------think 
4 mouse-------------------mouth 
5 pass -------------------path 
6 first-------------------thirst 
7 free--------------------three 
8 fin---------------------thin 
9 Fred--------------------thread 
10 tree-------------------three 
11 tanks------------------thanks 
12 bat--------------------bath 
13 tent-------------------tenth
14 taught-----------------thought

A It's very sick / thick.

B Many tanks / thanks.

C He taught / thought for a little while.

D This bat / bath is too big.

E He has a big mouse / mouth.
