Voiced TH Reading Paragraphs
Mother’s Day Gifts
It was Mother’s day. I did not have a gift for my mother. Neither did my brother. So we went to my father and asked him if he would take us to the store to look for a gift. He said he hadn’t bothered to get one yet either so we all went in the car together.
The weather was bad and the smog in the city made it hard to breathe. But in the end our trip was worth it because we found the most perfect gifts for mother.
There were some salts to help you bathe, some lotion for smooth skin, and some feather pillows to help you relax. All of those sounded very soothing to me.
My brother found some rubber, squishy toys. I told him they were for babies who are teething.
My father found a lathe and a leather belt for mother. I told him that she would absolutely loathe them. They trusted me and put their gifts back. They helped me buy the soothing gifts I found and we drove home together.
I was happy because my mother was going to love them much better than the gifts my father and brother had chosen. And I learned something. People often pick out what they want for themselves instead of thinking of what the other person would want. Don’t you think that’s silly?
Teething Baby
Look at that! I said to my mother. I pointed at my baby brother’s mouth. It was red and I could see something tiny and white poking up.
«That is a tooth,» my mother replied. «He is teething. Those are called his gums and that little white part is the top of his tooth. Poor guy. Babies don’t feel good when they teethe.»
My brother started crying. His nose was runny and it made it hard for him to breathe. His eyes were watery and not shiny blue like usual. I felt bad for him. I could tell that he did not feel well and those teeth coming up were worse than having a cold.
My mother and I worked together to help him feel better. We bathed him and clothed him. Then we wrapped him in his favorite blanket which he loved more than anything else. It seemed to soothe him for a little while, but then he started crying again. Poor guy.
«This is going to be a very long day!» sighed mother. «It will be so good when your father gets home!»
I am an Artist
It was time for the art show. My art was on display over by the back door. It was bigger than all the others so it had to be in back. Otherwise, you couldn’t see the others’ artwork. That was okay though because I loved my art.
It had feathers all over it. They were painted larger than life and each had its own pattern. There were many colors from gold to silver to fuchsia to violet. The patterns ranged from dots to stripes to stars to crazy splatters. Some looked smooth. Others looked rough. They all looked good together. I could never tell which one of them was my favorite. All that I knew was every time I looked at that beautiful painting, I couldn’t breathe.
My father, mother, and brother said so too. I knew these were the days that were going to make me who I am. I am an artist!
This list of functional words was professionally selected to be the most useful for a child or adult who has difficulty with producing the «Voiced TH» sound.
We encourage you to use this list when practicing at home.
Doing home practice will help your child make much faster progress toward correct production.
Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) are only able to see students/clients 30-60 mins (or less) per week.
This is not enough time for your child to overcome an articulation disorder with the «Voiced TH» sound. But with high caseloads…
…it’s all SLPs can do.
There’s only so much time in the day.
Every day that your child goes without practice it becomes more and more difficult to correct an «Voiced TH» error because he/she continues to say it incorrectly.

A common challenge among new cuers is deciding which handshape to use for words containing the digraph «th.» In English, there are several different building blocks (phonemes) that can be represented by the letters «th.»
Voiceless «th» or /θththθththθthth/ — Handshape 7
Voiceless «th» or /The voiceless «th» is found in words like thief, throw, and both. In the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), it is represented by the theta: θ. In a basic phoneic representation, it is sometimes simply represented by lowercase th. The book Gaining Cued Speech Proficiency by Walter J. Beaupre uses the letters xh to represent this phoneme. In speech production, it is made as a voiceless interdental fricative – meaning that the tongue is placed between the teeth, the vocal cords do not vibrate, and that it is a noisy, turbulent sound made by a narrow constriction in the mouth. When cueing, it is produced with handshape 7 – only the index, middle finger, and thumb are extended.
1-Syllable Words
bath, both, cloth, death, eighth, fifth, fourth, ninth, north, Seth, sloth, south, teeth, tenth, thank, theme, thigh, think, thing, third, thick, thin, thought, thread, threw, thrill, through, throw, thumb, threat, thrust, truth
2-Syllable Words
anthem, athlete, author, bathtub, Catholic, faithful, hundredth, nothing, python, something, thankful, thirty, thunder, threatening, thrilling, Thursday, toothbrush
3-Syllable Words
Athena, Anthony, catheter, Cynthia, synthetic, theatre, thematic, therapy
4-Syllable Words
authority, forsythia, thermometer
5-Syllable Words
anthropology, apothecary, photosynthesis
Voiced «th» or /ðt͟htHðt͟htHðt͟htH/ — Handshape 2
Voiced «th» or /The voiced «th» is found in words like those, brother, and worthy. In the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) it is represented by the letter eth (pronounced /ɛěehɛěehɛěehðt͟htHðt͟htHðt͟htH/): ð. It is also sometimes represented by tH (lowercase t and uppercase H), th (italicized th), th (underlined th) and TH (uppercase t and h), as well as combinations of those variations. In speech production, it is considered a voiced interdental fricative. It is produced nearly identically to the /θththθththθthth/ above, except with the addition of vocal cord vibration. When cueing, this phoneme is represented with handshape 2. Only the index finger and thumb are fully extended.
1-Syllable Words
smooth, soothe, than, that, the, them, there, these, they, this, those, though, writhe
2-Syllable Words
bother, clothing, breathing, either, farther, father, feather, further, leather, gather, northern, rhythm, weather
3-Syllable Words
gathering
Other Phonemes
The letters «th» can represent other phonemes as well. They can less commonly (but more accurately) stand for the phonemes /t/ and /h/ as in boathouse. They can also simply represent the phoneme /ttttttttt/ as in Thai, Thomas, thyme.
Instruction
When providing examples to aid students with discrimination, it can be useful to give examples that only differ in the way you wish to highlight. However, there are not many words that differ solely in /θththθththθthth/ and /ðt͟htHðt͟htHðt͟htH/. A few examples are provided below:
Hearing Students
While hearing, native English speakers generally do not confuse the different pronunciations of «th» while speaking, they do have difficulty consciously perceiving which they are targetting in order to assign a handshape. So while they can say the right sound, they may not be sure which they are saying in a given word. These students are encouraged to feel their vocal cords and assess the «breathiness» of their production to help them decide which handshape to use. It is essential that students be reminded not to whisper while trying to feel for vocal cord vibration as whispering is the act of speaking without using the vocal cords.
Deaf Students and English Language Learners
The linguistic background of students is essential. Many traditional techniques for teaching «th» words rely on the fact that students produce the targets correctly in speech but need to assess what they say in order to cue properly. However, students who have had limited, incomplete, or inaccurate exposure to English may not have an internalized target to assess. In other words, students who learned English as a second language may not know which «th» sounds to produce while speaking. So, they aim for the wrong target because a different pronunciation is in their mind. These students will frequently ask for a pattern to know which words use which «th». Unfortunately, phonemes are arbitrary and follow no such pattern. Some rules of thumb can be given, but students must be cautioned that exceptions will be common:
- «th» words for family members generally use handshape 2: mother, father, brother.
- «th pronouns generally use handshape 2: they, them, this, that, these, those.
- Some «th» noun-verb pairs change from handshape 7 to handshape 2: teeth-teethe, breath-breathe, bath-bathe, cloth-clothe (Note: some vowels also change between the pairs)
Links
- Which «th» is it? The Games and Quizzes section of DailyCues.com offers this interactive exercise. Ten words are randomly selected from a bank of words. You must decide if the «th» would be cued with handshape 2 (these), handshape 7 (thief), or neither one (Thai). Your answers are checked and you get a percentage of your right answers.
