"Thuh" or "thee"? That is the question.
But it doesn’t really matter if you spell it
“t – h – e.”
“The” Book
Fold two sheets of paper in half and staple. Children write the word “The” at the top of each page and then draw a picture. What a simple way for beginning readers to feel successful.
*You could also make an “a” book.
THE Song
(Tune: “Shortnin’ Bread”)
You can say "thuh"
Or you can say "thee,"
But you always have to spell it
T – H – E.
“The” Flip Book
Fold one sheet of paper into eighths. Open and cut up three creased lines to the middle. Fold in half to make flips. Write “the” on the front of each flip and then have children draw pictures or cut out pictures to put under each flip.
