Welcome!
who's ready to grow their brain
we are going to learn a new spelling
rule today let's talk about this sound
did you know there are lots of ways to
make that sound can you think of two
ways that you have already learned
hmm
let's think back to our cat and kite
rule
that's right
C and K both make the same sound and can
be found in the beginning of our CVC
words
in this lesson we are going to learn
about a third sound
what crazy I know
this is another digraph
do you remember what a Digraph is
it is two letters that make one sound
this Digraph is CK and is our third k
sound
CK can be found at the end of a closed
syllable word after a short vowel sound
so just remember when those two letters
combine together it makes
and is only found in the final position
you will never find it in the beginning
if at the end of a one-syllable word you
hear
you might use k or ck
so how do you know which one to use I
have a fun visualization story that will
help you remember
meet Monster K monster K likes to eat
weak vowels so we have to make sure to
protect them
let's pause and review what are our
vowels
that's right a e i o and u
when they are there short sound they say
ah Apple a
e e
I
ah Olive o
a upper U now how do we protect those
weak vowels from that monster k
now we're going to meet protector C
protector C is there to protect the weak
vowels from Monster K protector C acts
as a shield so monster K can't get that
weak vowel
protector C is like a superhero and like
all heroes protector C needs his sleep
sleep is very important when does
protector C get his rest
if the vowel has a letter friend next to
it protector C can go take a snooze
because now monster K can't get the
vowel the new letter friend can be the
protector now
[Music]
in this word is there a letter friend
after the vowel
no there isn't we need protector C to
wake up and protect that vowel
[Music]
alright let's practice let's check these
words out does the vowel need protecting
with protector C or not I'm going to
give you a word and you are going to
decide if the vowel needs protecting or
not do we use CK or just Decay at the
end of the word
here are the answers check your brains
check your work it's okay if you need
more review you got this
