Let's solve this fun digraph
"th" worksheet step by step!
The task is to
write words that contain the digraph "th" (the letters
t and
h together) under each picture. The digraph "th" can make two different sounds:
-
"th" as in "think" (voiceless, like "th" in *thin*)
-
"th" as in "this" (voiced, like "th" in *then*)
Now, let’s look at each picture and think of a word with "th" that matches.

---
🔹 Row 3:
7.
Heart-shaped mouth:
→ A mouth making a shape — could be "mouth" or "throat"?
→ But the shape resembles a heart — maybe it's hinting at
"mouth"?
→ Word:
mouth (has "th")
✔
→
Answer: mouth
8.
Colorful moth:
→ A butterfly-like insect.
→ Word:
moth (has "th")
✔
→
Answer: moth
9.
Pink towel rolled up:
→ A soft cloth used after bathing.
→ Word:
towel — but does it have "th"? No.
→ Wait — what about
"cloth"? Or
"bath towel"?
→ But we need a word with
"th".
→ How about
"thread"? No, not matching.
→ What about
"thick"? No.
→ Wait — maybe
"towel" doesn’t have "th", so perhaps it's
"cloth"?
But “cloth” has “th” — yes! And a towel is a type of cloth.
→ So, word:
cloth ✔
→
Answer: cloth
Alternatively, if you're looking for something more specific,
"bath towel" includes "bath", but we already used "bath".
But since the image is just a towel,
"cloth" is a good fit.
Another possibility:
"thick"? Not really relevant.
Best answer:
cloth
