The Letter T - Sight Words, Reading, Writing, Spelling & Worksheets

The letter t makes the sound heard in the words cat and today; this is the sound you would first introduce to a child. This consonant sound ranks in the very common category along with its counterparts: r and n. Due to its frequency, it is typically one of the first consonants taught to a child.

The letter t can also be silent, e.g., bouquet and whistle. In addition, the combination of the letters “t” and “h” results in two unique sounds which are as follows:

• Voiceless TH consonant digraph sound, e.g., thank, athlete & with, and
• Voiced TH consonant digraph sound, e.g. the, mother & smooth.

When the letter t precedes ION, it either makes an SH sound, e.g. motion or a ZH sound, e.g., equation. The letter t can also sound like CH, e.g., feature and creature. This sound typically occurs when the letter t precedes URE.
