An Introduction

Worksheet Description

The “Soft C” worksheet introduces and reinforces the concept of the soft “c” sound in English. The sheet clearly states the rule: when the letter “c” follows “i”, “y”, or “e”, it produces a soft sound, similar to “s”. Examples like “cider”, “cyan”, and “century” illustrate this rule. In contrast, when “c” comes before any other letter, it gives a hard sound, like “k”. Words such as “camera”, “cork”, and “cut” exemplify this. In the main exercise, students read a list of words and circle those with the soft “c” sound. They then write these words in provided spaces, actively engaging with the material. A charming raccoon graphic adds a visual element, making the worksheet engaging for young learners.
