Using voiced th sound practice together
This page focuses on voiced th sound practice. The word bank below shows the positions available in this particular deck.
A short way to begin
- Start with this or another familiar picture from this deck.
- Select Shape & say to explore the illustrated placement, or Sound detective to match a spoken word to a picture.
- Use One word, A little phrase or A whole sentence to change the model you hear.
- Optionally record a short turn and listen back together. The game does not score speech accuracy.
Adapt this activity
Make a gentle 'Tongue Sandwich' by letting just the very tip of your tongue peek softly between your top and bottom front teeth, then blow a quiet, steady breeze over your tongue.
What the feedback means
A schematic mouth picture cannot show every tongue shape or the learner’s own movement. Synthetic pronunciation models, dialect and individual anatomy vary; a speech-language pathologist can select appropriate targets.
Beginning of a word
- This
- That
- These
Middle of a word
- Mother
- Brother
- Feather
End of a word
- Bathe
- Breathe
- Smooth
Questions about this activity
Which /ð/ words are included?
This deck contains this, that, these, mother, brother, feather, bathe, breathe, smooth. Use the position buttons to narrow the available words.
Does the microphone decide whether a word is correct?
No. The optional recorder is for listening back. Practice counts record participation; the listening game checks picture choices, not pronunciation.

Yes. Set the position, practice mode and repetition goal, then use Share activity. Those settings are included in the link; microphone recordings are not.
