Medial TH Sentences for Speech Therapy

19 simple sentences for practicing /th/ in the medial position at carryover level. Every sentence is pronunciation-checked: each word is verified and the target sound is confirmed where it should be.

Why sentence-level practice matters

Sentences are where a practiced sound meets real speech: longer utterances, natural rhythm, and other sounds competing for attention. Accuracy usually dips when a child moves up — that dip is the point of the exercise, not a failure.

Have the child repeat first, then read (if reading), then answer questions using the sentence. When accuracy holds, move the same targets into conversation — the last level before generalization.

Frequently asked questions

What are Medial TH sentences?
Simple 5–9 word sentences where /th/ appears in the medial position of at least one word — for example: “Mother likes her pretty new clothes.”, “My brother plays in the bathroom.”
Why do some sentences contain other tricky sounds?
On purpose. At sentence level the goal is carryover into real speech, and real speech contains competing sounds. The target is still verified in position in every sentence.
When should a child move from phrases to sentences?
Typically after consistently accurate phrase-level practice. The SLP guiding the child makes the call — these lists support practice, they do not choose treatment targets.
Can I get sentence-level practice on a printable worksheet?
Yes. Ga-loo generates printable articulation worksheets for /th/ with a chosen age range and theme, and phonetically checks every word before building the PDF.
