Kindergarten News
- This week we will be learning the letter Cc with a /k/ sound as in cat and candy. We will learn the K & C Spelling Rule. The rule is that we spell the /k/ sound with the letter k when the sound is followed by the letters e, i, and y. We spell the /k/ sound with the letter c when the sound is followed by the letters a, o, u, and any consonant. For example:
K before e, i, or y C before a, o, u, or any consonant
