Let’s go step by step.
The task is:
Say the name of the picture and write the sound “TH” — meaning, for each picture, say what it is (like “think”, “thumb”, etc.), and then write the letters
T H in the box next to it. But wait — looking at the Word Bank at the bottom, we see words like:
- thorn
- thin
- thick
- thumb
- think
And the instruction says: “write the sound TH” — so actually, you’re not writing the whole word. You’re just writing
“th” because all these words start with the “th” sound.
But let’s check the pictures one by one:
1. Girl with thought bubble → that’s “think” → starts with “th”
2. Tree with thick trunk? Or maybe “thin tree”? Wait — look again. The second row has two trees: one looks fuller (“thick”), one looks skinny (“thin”). But both are labeled with “th” words.
3. Thumbs up → “thumb”
4. Thorny branch → “thorn”
Actually, every single picture represents a word that starts with “th”. So no matter which picture it is, you always write
“th” in the box.
Wait — but why give a Word Bank if you’re just writing “th” every time?
Ah! Maybe the task is misread. Let me re-read:
> Say the name of the picture and write the sound TH
It doesn’t say “write the word”. It says “write the sound TH”.
So even though the Word Bank gives full words, the actual answer for each box is just the letters
T H, because that’s the sound being practiced.
Also, notice: there are 8 boxes, and the Word Bank has 8 words — but they repeat: “thorn”, “thin”, “thick”, “thumb”, “think”, “thumb”, “thorn”, “think”.
That suggests maybe you’re supposed to match the picture to the correct word from the bank… but the instruction says “write the sound TH”, not “write the word”.
Looking at the title: “Write The Sound TH”
And the example logo: K B with sunglasses — probably just branding.
Also, the copyright is 2021, and this is page 5 — likely part of a phonics workbook focusing on the “th” digraph.
In early literacy, when they say “write the sound”, they mean write the letters that make that sound — so for “th”, you write T-H.
Moreover, all the pictures correspond to words starting with “th”, so regardless of which picture, the sound is “th”.
Therefore, for every box, you write:
th
Even if the pictures are different — girl thinking, tree, thumb, thorn — they all begin with the same sound: /θ/ or /ð/, represented by “th”.
So final decision: Each blank box should have
th written in it.
No calculation needed — it’s a phonics exercise.
Final Answer:
th
th
th
th
th
th
th
th
