I need help with teaching phonics
 
HI all,
 
how can I best teach dipthongs to my students.  Specially the sound /th/ - as it differs in some words (e.g. think, the).
I don�t want to get my students confused about it!
I�d appreciate your help...
 
 
thanx

Hi kholoud,
 
When I teach my students the two "th" sounds, I use the "bee sound" (zzzzzzzzzzzz) to show them how  we pronounce the sound "th" as in the word faTHer and the "snake sound" (ssssssssssss) to teach the "th" as in the word THanks. Of course, reminding them to put the tip of their tongues between their teeth.
 
I have this worksheet with these two TH sounds: http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=93267#thetop 
Take a look at it, if you think it�s useful for ur students,give me ur email and I�ll send it to you, ok?!?!
 
I hope my ordinary tip is useful for you...
 
A little kiss(*.*)
