Soft C’s And G’s

Worksheet Description

The Soft Sounds Word Find worksheet is a word search game focused on identifying words with the soft “C” and soft “G” sounds, such as “giraffe” and “gem.” Students must scan a grid filled with letters to find and highlight or circle these words, which are listed at the bottom of the page. The words can be positioned in any direction within the grid, providing a fun challenge for students. This puzzle aims to combine the enjoyment of a word search with the educational task of phonics recognition, specifically the soft sounds that “C” and “G” can represent.

This worksheet is designed to teach students the phonetic concept of soft “C” and “G” sounds, which occur before ‘e,’ ‘i,’ or ‘y,’ as in words like “celery” and “gentle.” It reinforces the distinction between soft and hard sounds of these consonants, an important aspect of English pronunciation and spelling. The activity helps to enhance the students’ visual discrimination and word recognition skills. Furthermore, it aids in vocabulary development by introducing students to new words that follow these phonetic rules.
