The letters are excited for a new day of Music Class, when letter K has a confusing realization! The word "music" ends with her sound, but not her letter! Together, she and letter C explore the land of Alphabetia, practicing their newly learned rule that helps them know which one of them is making the sound in each word. When they get stuck together in a river, they discover the power of ending words with "ck" and why that can be necessary. Travel along with them to learn the difference between C, K, and CK!
Welcome to our world of phonics adventure, crafted with love by two passionate kindergarten teachers! With a shared passion for nurturing young minds and a specific love of phonics, we shared one goal: to make early literacy education more engaging and easier to understand. Our children's stories aren't just tales - they're tools designed to intentionally make tricky phonics rules make sense to little minds.Drawing from our classroom experiences, we blend storytelling with phonics instruction to create engaging and memorable learning experiences. Our books serve as a tool for both children and teachers, offering an easy solution to teaching complex phonics concepts. With just one read-aloud, teachers can introduce these spelling rules, learn a catchy phrase to help remember them, and enjoy an engaging and uplifting story. Join us on this journey to make phonics fun, accessible, and unforgettable for every young learner!
Phonics Rule: C, K, and CK
When a, o, or u are near, c is the letter that you'll hear. With e, i, or y ahead, k steps in instead.
For a short vowel sound, here's the trick: end with ck, it's that quick!
For a long vowel or consonant, you'll see, end with a k, it's the key!
(ie. case, key, rock)
