This week we will focus on spelling with -ck.
(For those who may not know, when a letter is enclosed within // it is the sound, not the letter name that is being communicated.)
When spelling one-syllable, sort vowel words, if you hear no other sound with the ending /k/, spell the /k/ sound with -ck.
We have also learned the following phonetic skills:
- When a vowel is followed by a single consonant sound in a one-syllable word, the vowel sound is short.
- When a vowel is followed by two consonant sounds in a one-syllable word, the vowel sound is short.
