This is a "th digraph worksheet" designed to help children practice identifying and using the "th" sound in words. The task is to look at each picture, say its name aloud, identify the "th" sound, and then write the letters "th" in the blank space to complete the word.
Let's solve this step by step for each image.
First, look closely:
The worksheet has several black-and-white line drawings, each with a partial word underneath it. In the center, there is a large cloud with "-th-" written inside, indicating that the missing letters for all the words are "th". The instructions at the top say, "Sound the digraph and write the digraph to complete the word."
I will go through each picture one by one to identify the correct word.
1.
Sloth: The image is of a sloth hanging from a branch. The partial word is "slo_". The correct word is "sloth".
2.
Path: The image shows a winding path through a forest. The partial word is "pa_". The correct word is "path".
3.
Three: The image is the number 3. The partial word is "_ree". The correct word is "three".
4.
Thunder: The image is a cloud with a lightning bolt, representing thunder. The partial word is "_under". The correct word is "thunder".
5.
Moth: The image is a moth. The partial word is "mo_". The correct word is "moth".

Think: The image is a boy with a lightbulb above his head, indicating thinking. The partial word is "_ink". The correct word is "think".
