Spelling Practice with C

Description

Your students need spelling practice with C. They need variety. They need fun while they’re learning what <c> can spell. We’ve got you covered in these Spelling with C activities.

It often takes a while for students to consistently choose between <c> and <k> correctly.

Use these activities to reinforce the rule for spelling /k/ at the beginning of a word with a <c> or <k> and <c> spelling /s/.  When your students learn about the <-ic> at the end of like music or magic compared to trick or slick, you’ll have activities for that too. There are a couple of activities for spelling /ʃ/ (sh) with a <c> also.

Students will enjoy the Spelling with C activities, and they’ll become more confident spellers.

With this 30-page resource you’ll have:

• C word hunt page for students to write words that begin with <c>
• /k/ sound hunt page for students to write words that include /k/
• a chart for choosing the sound the <c> is spelling in each word
• 32 spelling bingo cards and 2 spelling bingo boards for spelling with <c> or <k>
• <camp>, <cent>, <cycle> matrices
• 32 word sort cards for
  • <c> spelling /k/
  • <c> spelling /s/
  • <k> spelling /k/
  • final <-ic> vs final <ck>
• 3 suffixing pages: <c> spelling /k/ words, <c> spelling /ʃ/ (sh), & adding a <k> to a final <-ic> before adding a suffix like in picnicking
• correct the spelling page for editing misspellings of <c> and <k> words
• choosing between <c> or <k> maze
• 2 word webs: electric, special

How do you play spelling bingo?

The boards have a beginning <c> or <k> in each cell. Players take turns drawing a bingo word card and reading it to the other player. That player decides whether the word should have a <c> or a <k> spelling /k/ and then writes it in one of the <k> or <c> cells using the letter already in the cell. If the player can’t use the <k> or <c> card on his/her board, the other player can take that for their turn.  The first player to have four in a row for a short game, or borders or blackout (the entire board) wins.

I like spelling games where students actually spell rather than copying words from a card. I love playing games with students which give either of us the opportunity to win, by the luck of the draw.

Students need to practice spelling, and they need it not to be boring. Try some of these with your student.
