Is This the Spot? Jolly Phonics · Group 6: th as in this & th as in thin
Practice Words
Sloth is spent. He sits at a rock with a twig. He needs a nap, but he needs the best spot.
Sloth spots a big tree and thinks, that is it! He grips the trunk and inches up, up, up.
This branch is smooth, and it seems the best spot. Sloth hangs on with a grin and rests.
Chomp! Giraffe nips at his green coat. That is bad! Sloth yelps and rushes up the tree.
Sloth clings to a thick branch and feels glad. He thinks this spot is the best. Then he rests.
Hum, hum! A bee nest hangs on that branch. A bee lands on him, then three bees land. Sloth inches back.
Sloth peeks up. A long thin thing hangs from the branch. Is that a tail? He thinks it is.
Hiss! A thing with a fang is on that branch. It is mad at him, and Sloth rushes up with a yelp.
Sloth is spent, but he can see a free branch up top. A thing with a wing sits on the next branch up. Can this be the spot?
Yap, yap! The thing with a wing can not hush. Sloth can not sleep with that din, and he is mad.
Sloth gets to the tip-top, and it is hushed up there. He hugs the trunk and grips it with his tail. Then he naps at last.
The lot rest in the tree. Sloth naps at the top. Giraffe can not get a spot, and he looks up. Hush! That is that.
