How to Practice Medial Position /TH/ Words
Strategies for practicing the /TH/ sound in the middle of words.
Break words into syllables and have your child practice the syllable containing the /TH/ sound first, then put the word back together.
Medial position words can be trickier because the /TH/ sound is surrounded by other sounds. Slow the word down so your child can feel each part.
Clap out the syllables of each word and emphasize the syllable with the /TH/ sound.
Use these words in short, natural phrases (e.g., "I see a bathing") to practice in connected speech.
Once your child can say the word slowly with the correct /TH/ sound, gradually speed up to a natural pace.
