[PronunciationWorkshop] TH, Voiced T
Paragraph Practice
Nurse Thatcher was thankful it was Thursday. She knew that on Thursday she had to deliver 33 boxes of thermometers to the North American Athletic Club. They thought that thermometers were necessary for testing the hydrotherapy baths. This was thought to benefit the athletes with arthritis. The athletic trainers required authorization to provide hydrotherapy to the youthful athletes on the three bulletin boards with thumbtacks throughout the athletic club. Rather than risk the health of the athletes, they thoroughly checked the thousands of thermometers to insure their worthiness; otherwise they needed to be thrown away
THR Blends
Thread “thread the needle”
Throw “throw the ball”
Throat “my throat is sore”
Thrill “a thrilling ride”
Three “three more days”
Threw “he threw the ball”
Throne “the king sits on a throne”
“TH” Exceptions
Although the following words are spelled with a ‘TH’, they are pronounced as a ‘T’:
Thomas
Thompson
Theresa
Thailand
Thames
Esther
Thyme
Voicing the ‘T’ Sound
If a ‘T’ falls within two voiced sounds (usually vowels), the ‘T’ becomes voiced like a ‘D’.
Betty bought a bit of better butter.
But, said she,
This butter’s bitter.
If I put it in my batter,
It’ll make my batter bitter.

[PronunciationWorkshop] Voicing, S and Z
Paired Consonants:
p >> b; t >> d; f >> v; sh >> zsh; k >> g; s >> z
Three rules for S/Z endings:
- If a word ends in a sound that is unvoiced (such as P,T,K,F), you add an unvoiced /S/
- If a word ends in any of these sounds: ‘s,z,sh,ch,or dg (j)’ when adding an ‘S’ ending, add… IZZZZZZ
- If a word ends in a vowel sound (like the word Tree) or a voiced consonant (like the word Game), then when you add an ‘S’, continue the voicing throughout the entire word, and it should become a voiced ZZZZ.
Paragraph Practice
Another zippy, zappy, crazy day comes to a close. As we zoom up to Joe’s snooze zone, Zoe Jones of Zodiac Zoo plays with her zipper.
Last week, Jim’s brothers were picked to represent their country in the Olympic Games. Two of the brothers were swimmers, while the other two were long distance runners. All of the brothers wore glasses. These athletes worked hard at qualifying for the games and were hoping to come home with prizes. Since the brothers go to the same university, they often take the same courses. This makes studying easier and gives them more time to do other things.
On Thursday, I had a very lazy day. I woke up early and first squeezed oranges into juice. I then got dressed and watched the sunrise come up over the mountains. It was so beautiful that I took many pictures with my camera and I used three rolls of film. After drinking two cups of coffee, I got dressed, left the house, and walked three miles home.
