Different Contexts

Worksheet Description

This “Soft C Words” worksheet actively engages students in understanding the pronunciation of the letter “c” in different contexts. The sheet instructs students to read each provided word and discern where the letter “c” is placed within that word. Depending on its position, especially in relation to the vowels a, i, or e, the “c” can produce a soft or hard sound. Students then circle the appropriate description: whether the “c” appears before an a, i, or e, or before any other letter. Subsequently, they circle the correct “c” sound, represented by “/s/” for the soft sound and “/k/” for the hard sound. Words like “fleece,” “cardiac,” and “crypt” offer a varied range to practice on. A brain illustration in the top right corner emphasizes cognitive engagement. Through this worksheet, students not only practice pronunciation but also learn rules governing the sounds of the English language.
