Fun with Sounds: Mastering Digraph /th/ and Long Vowel /ee/ 🐝🗣️
Get ready for an exciting sound safari! Today, we discover two super phonics patterns. First, when letter 't' and letter 'h' stand together, they make the friendly /th/ sound (like in 'three', 'mouth', 'teeth', and 'thin'). Second, when two 'e's hold hands, they sing the long /ee/ sound happily (like in 'bee', 'green', 'tree', and 'feet'). Let us practice pronouncing these sounds accurately and finding them in exciting words!

Place the tip of your tongue gently between your teeth and blow soft air:
- 3️⃣ Three: Number 3.
- 👄 Mouth: Part of our face.
- 🦷 Teeth: In our mouth to chew.

🐝 The Long /ee/ Sound
Smile widely and stretch the sound:
