Student Instructions
The letter “c” has two sounds- a “hard” and a “soft” sound. If the letter after the “c” is i, e, or y the “c” makes the /s/ sound (soft sound). If it’s any other letter, the “c” makes the /k/ sound (hard sound). The hard sound of “c” occurs most often. In this activity you will be sorting words into categories - hard or soft. Tap to begin the activity. Use the tool to select and move words into the correct column. Use the tool to highlight the /k/ or /s/ sound in words that have both a hard and a soft "c". When you have finished the activity tap if you haven't finished and need to come back later, or if you are ready to add the completed activity to your Journal.
I created this activity to accompany the Better Start Literacy Approach, Week 15: hard and soft "c" learning activities. It should be assigned after a focus session with the teacher where discussion of the /k/ and /s/ sound of the grapheme "c".
