Unit 2: What's the Matter?
Phonics Workshop: Mastering the Sounds /k/ in 'ck' and /sk/ in 'sk'
Click any sentence to listen 👆
Welcome to phonics fun! In this lesson, we practice two important consonant letter patterns: 'ck' which makes the crisp /k/ sound at the end of words (like black, sick, duck, clock), and 'sk' which blends /s/ and /k/ together at the beginning or end of words (like skin, skirt, sky, skip). Clear pronunciation helps us become confident readers and fluent speakers.
🔊 Phonics Pattern 1: 'ck' Sound (/k/)
The letters ck come after a short vowel and make one sharp sound /k/:
black (أسود)
sick (مريض)
duck (بطة)
clock (ساعة حائط)
✨ Phonics Pattern 2: 'sk' Blend (/sk/)
The blend sk combines the hiss of /s/ with the stop of /k/:
skin (جلد)
skirt (تنورة)
sky (سماء)
skip (يقفز بالحبل)
