The /k/ Ending

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered on the spelling rule for the /k/ sound at the end of English words. It instructs that the letters “ck” are used after a short vowel, while the letter “k” is used after anything else. Each image on the worksheet represents a word that ends with the /k/ sound, and students are tasked with writing the correct word, applying the appropriate rule, underneath each picture. Examples given to illustrate the rule include “sick” for the “ck” usage and “milk” for the “k” usage.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to correctly spell the /k/ sound at the end of words. It helps differentiate between the use of “ck” and “k,” which depends on the preceding vowel length. This spelling activity not only reinforces the rule but also aids in vocabulary building as students associate pictures with words. Engaging with this exercise will enhance students’ phonemic awareness and their ability to apply spelling rules to improve their writing skills.
