Review
Short u (ŭ); ck, k-ck, Cat Rule
In this lesson, we learned the sounds associated with the following letters.
Vowel
u – up – /ŭ/
Digraph
ck – black – /k/
We also learned two spelling generalizations.
The Cat/Kite Spelling Generalization – use c to spell the /k/ sound when followed by: a, o, u, or the consonants l or r. Use k to spell the /k/ sound when followed by e or i.
Examples: cat, cop, cut, clip, crib. kit, kelp
The k-ck Spelling Generalization – the /k/ sound at the end of a word is spelled with k when it immediately follows a consonant or along vowel.
Examples: milk, lake, jerk, bike, fork, puke.
The /k/ sound at the end of a word is spelled with ck when it immediately follows a short vowel.
Examples: lack, speck, trick, clock, truck.
Practice
Use c, k, or ck to complete the spelling of each word.
