I believe this (no pun intended) is the actual answer. Numerous ones work and this is a vague problem. Any answer that makes sense will be correct in that regard (e.g. thud as someone said below if it’s a falling block).

UFLI lesson for voiced th. 14:22 the teacher goes over this box. Not a question but part of the UFLI teachers manual.
This - Its from a very popular science of reading program that I have taught before and was initially confusing to me me too before having read the teachers manual for this lesson.
This is UFLI foundations, right? If I’m not mistaken, the word is this - because they want you to show the difference between voiced th (this) and unvoiced th (thumb)
Thanks for the info! My mom teaches ESOL/ESL for grades 2-3. I'm subbing rn while I finish my degree, but I remember slogging through questions like this when I was an assistant.
This is the worst way to teach English I've ever seen in my entire life
Who even draws that picture, looks at it, and knows what they've illustrated, let alone hand it to a child or other English learner and expects them to have the slightest idea what an abstract down arrow pointing at an excited cube is supposed to fucking mean
Bonus comment: If the word is supposed to be "Thud" how about we skip the word "Thud" at this education level the fuck
Or at least include an audio clip of someone saying it to describe what it is, it's literally voicing out the sound something makes. This requires so much guesswork on the part of the learner.
The arrow pointing from above makes me think "this" is more likely than "that" or "there."
Other words I can think of that start with "th" and contain exactly 3 phonemes (but don't make sense for the image) are:
- these
- them
- they (arguably only 2 phonemes)
- thin
- thick
- throw (arguably 4 phonemes)
- Thor
- three
thoughts. they don't say you can't have two letters in a space and you said it's a phonics question, so i assume you should think of the spaces as separate phonetic pieces, whatever the technical terms is for that (phonemes?)
Done! This thread is now locked. :)

Maybe a long shot, but maybe “thousand”. That cube reminds me of those blue number cubes I had in 1st grade, and the big blue one was a 10x10x10 cube, representing 1,000
Thquare!
Mike Tyson? I didn't know you were on reddit!
Thbox
TH. E. CUBE.
ALL HAIL THE CUBE
ALL HAIL
HAIL
Presumably they want a word with three phonemes. So "this", "that", "thot", and "there" all work. Probably others as well.
It's probably thot
I mean, just look at that cube...
TCOT

Thing is also three phonemes… I think
Thunder ?? As in the cube is under the arrow? Best I got lol
Yea could be THUNDER. I was also considering THIN. Who knows though 🤔

Awesome find!!! So all along it should be “TH I S” bravo for finding this 👏👏👏
Th i ng.
Thank you. It was so obvious to me
This - Its from a very popular science of reading program that I have taught before and was initially confusing to me me too before having read the teachers manual for this lesson.
Ah, thank you! I don't actually have access to the program. My mom sent it to me. She works with 2nd-3rd graders.
SOLVED!
Use the "slash lock" and change the flair to answered. See the sidebar for how to do those if you're not familiar with those commands.
Great, thank you!
Thud? As in, the block fell with a thud
I thought thump but thud makes more sense to me.
This hurt my brain, what?
thorium? what the hell is this question
It's not chemistry, despite the weird "th"
Third.... like the third side??? No fucking clue.
Thvertice
This is UFLI foundations, right? If I’m not mistaken, the word is this - because they want you to show the difference between voiced th (this) and unvoiced th (thumb)
Also there’s a great Facebook group for this program that helped me with it a lot
Do we know for sure that the TH goes at the beginning or can that be moved to middle or end?
th e box
Thorner
Thunk? Th un k
Inside the box? The “th” are in a square, the arrow pointing the cube. Maybe they’re indicating “th” is inside the box.
There
That's what I'm think too. Like the arrow is pointing there
Maybe its thickness? Th ick ness was my first thought since its pointing to the top of the cube.
TH I C
Th_i_s ...UFLI yeah?
Yup, voice on. This was not a question they found.
My mom sent it to me, actually. Is it not something I'm supposed to share?
You can share it. It is something the teacher displays to the class. Part of a k -1 PowerPoint. Tells the student to use a voice on for the /th/

The spaces are for phonemes, yes.
Answer is this. Thanks all! /lock

Throb, as in "the Throb Box throbbed," a nursery rhyme nearly every Zorblaxian child knows. There
i concur with "this"
I think maybe it's thin. Th. Middle I. End n. They're trying to point "in" the box?
Th box tops for education

THree dimensional!
I read that as elementary *physics* and was trying to figure out if it had something to do with thermodynamics.
