The children will set up a booth that sells cloth and threads and will read and write words spelled with th, such as moth, thread, thick, thin, cloth, booth, path, and thimble.

Literacy Activities 
Set up a booth that sells cloth, thread, and thimbles

• Write thread and cloth on the board and explain that the th makes the /th/ sound.
• Designate a table to be a booth that sells cloth, thread, and thimbles.
• Set up a path to the booth with the signs (found below) along the way.
• Help the children make signs to label the cloth, thin thread, thick thread, and thimbles.
• Set out cloth, thick and thin thread, and thimbles (real items or pictures found below) with the labels the children made.
• Pretend to have a moth (picture found below) come to the booth and explain that moths sometimes eat cloth.
• Let the children shoo away the moth by swatting it with pieces of cloth.

Sell cloth, thread, and thimbles

• Place out the sign that says Path to the booth! (found below).
• Set out the thimbles, thick and thin threads, and cloth.
• Allow the children to come to the booth to buy cloth, thick and thin thread, and thimbles.
• Demonstrate how thread can be threaded through a needle and how a thimble can be used to push the needle and thread into cloth.
• Invite the children to pretend to thread their needles and push their needle and thread into their cloth.
• Point out that the words thimble, thick thread, and thin thread  start with the /th/ sound.

More Practice 
Read target words in a text

• Read the Moth on a Cloth target text (found below) to the children.
• Have the children underline the words spelled with th in the target text.
• Engage the children in reading the text with you.
• Read the text again, fading support.
• Have the children list the words from the text spelled with th.

Write about the activity using target words and patterns

• Have the children draw a moth and a cloth, then, under the drawing, ask the children to write “I see a moth on a cloth.”
• Help the children to create a word wall with words spelled with th.  
• Have the children write sentences about their experience with the booth using words from the word wall​​​​ (e.g., “I can buy thick and thin thread.”).
