Looking for simple T sound words with pictures to teach your child the /t/ sound? Here is a collection of easy T words that young children can see, say, and practice.
When teaching phonics, I like to introduce the sound first and then connect it to the letter. So when your child sees the letter T, encourage them to say /t/, as in tiger.

How to Practice the T Sound
Point to each picture and say the word together. Then ask your child:
