‘-ck’ Spelling Rule Skill Explainer
Print the '-ck' flash card to introduce the spelling rule to your students and add the card to your flash card deck. If this is your first time teaching this skill, it might be helpful to write the rule on the back of your flash card to help you recite the rule to your students. "When a one-syllable word has a short vowel sound that is immediately followed by the /k/ sound, you spell /k/ with '-ck'."
Review the '-ck' word list (opens in new window) and write examples of '-ck' words on the back of your flash card. It's helpful to have examples of '-ck' words readily available for your students.
Teach yourself the '-ck' hooray chant to help your students remember the '-ck' spelling rule. "Immediately after a short vowel, at the end of a one-syllable word, spell /k/ – 'c', 'k' hooray!"
