Digraphs Voiced TH Blending Cards Freebie - Science of Reading Phonics

This voiced th blending cards freebie provides targeted phonics practice with the voiced /th/ sound. These cards focus on high frequency words such as this, that, then, them, and the, helping students build automaticity with this important phonics pattern.

The voiced /th/ sound is made by placing the tongue between the teeth and turning the voice on. Students should feel their throat vibrate as they produce the sound, which helps distinguish it from the unvoiced /th/ sound.

These blending cards follow a structured phonics routine where students say each sound and blend the word together. The repetition supports both decoding and fluency.

The cards also align to the color coding system used in Guided Phonics + Beyond:
• Green sounds represent continuous sounds that can be stretched
• Yellow sounds represent stop sounds that are quick and cannot be stretched
• Red highlights the target phonics skill in the word

This visual support helps students understand how sounds work within words and strengthens their ability to blend accurately.
