About this resource

What's inside this resource

Practice reading TH words with these digraph word wall cards. These cards make a great wall display for a phonics focused word wall as well as a reference resource within a writing center.

What is in this resource?

This resource includes word wall cards for the digraph TH. This set contains both CVCC, CCVC, and CCVCC words in two different formats. On each card you will find an illustration which is representing a digraph TH word that is written in large font for students to recognize and read easily. Students will be able to match the illustration with the TH word. There are two sets included in this resource, one with words on the cards in black letters and the other have the rime highlighted in red. This allows students to easily blend onset and rime to read each word.

Questions teachers ask about this resource

What's the difference between the two card sets?

Both sets contain the same 12 word-pairs, but one is printed in plain black text while the other has the TH rime of each word highlighted in red to support onset-rime blending.

Are all the words on the cards one syllable?

Most are (like thorn, bath, and math), but a few longer words such as thermometer, thermos, thimble, and thunder are included too, adding some range in difficulty.
