Description: "Sank you!" Do your ESL students struggle to differentiate the voiceless /th/ and the /s/ sound? This is what you've been looking for! Give them lots of listening practice with this boom deck! Each card has a /θ/ vs. /s/ minimal pair represented by both photos and words. The audio from the gold icon will play automatically. Students can immediately drag and drop it in the box for the correct word/image or click the silver icon to listen to the other word before moving any icons. Students must place both the gold and the silver icons in the box for the matching word/image. Students can listen to the words as many times as they want by clicking on the icons. Encourage your students to repeat the words as they hear them. Green: initial sounds (15 cards) Blue: final sounds (15 cards) Lavender: medial sounds (3 cards) This deck was created with adult students in mind and will not appeal to young learners. This boom deck uses the same photos as the digital presentation part of my TH/S Pronunciation for Adult ESL resource in my TpT store.
