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

k-ck Spelling Generalization – use ck to spell the /k/ sound right after a short vowel in a one syllable word. Examples:   back, check, click,  sock, puck

Practice

Use c, k, or ck to complete the spelling of each word.

____help _____eg
mŏ____ s____it
____uss chĕ____
