✨✍️ Phonics Focus in Ms. Muse’s Class!

Our learners practiced the two sounds that “th” can make:
🔹 Voiceless /th/ as in think, thin, bath
🔹 Voiced /th/ as in this, that, them

By writing, saying, and using these sounds in words, learners are strengthening their phonics skills and building a strong foundation for reading fluency. 🌟📚
