Introduce /k/

Explore the ins and outs of the letter k using these strategies combining pronunciation, letter recognition, and initial phoneme examples. Scholars examine the letter shape and listen to you pronounce the /k/ sound. Use these tips to explain how you do it as they try. Can they think of words beginning with this phoneme? Play a fast-thinking letter-recognition game to cement visual associations as pupils watch as you point to letters one at a time; if you point to a k they say its sound. For all other letters, they stay silent. The pronunciation guide isn't worth your time for this one, but the letter cards may be helpful.
