Phoneme Awareness
Whacking the ball for
learning consonant digraph "ck"
"c"
plus
"k"
equal "ck"
as in "whack"
Rationale: In order for students to
read words, they must recognize the phonemes in each word.
Some words have phonemes with two letters.
These words are consonant digraph and sometimes can be hard for students
to recognize. The consonant digraph
"ck" is one of those that are hard to recognize.
Students will learn the "ck" digraph by reading words that contain the
"ck" diagraph. Once students learn
the lesson they will be able to recognize that when the letters "c" and "k"
combined they are pronounced with the phoneme sound of /k/.

Worksheet with "ck" consonant diagraph
Procedure:
1.
Today we are going to practice reading
and spelling the consonant diagraph ck.
The letters "c" and "k" are put together to make one sound.
The letters combined make the /k/ sound.
Can everyone practice making the /k/ sound?
When we make the sound /k/ our tongues touch the roof of our mouths and
we push air out of our mouth.
2.
Let's work on a
new tongue twister. Look at the
board and read "Little Chick Licked."
Now let us read it and say it slowly.
Did you hear the /k/ sound a lot?
Were you able to feel your tongue touching the roof of your mouth?
Tongue Twister:
"Little chick licked, little
chick licked, little chick licked how many times did little chick lick?"
3.
Now we are going
to work on a worksheet that has pictures that might start or end with "ck." If
the picture starts or ends with "ck" circle where it is.
I will call out the pictures to you now.
4.
Practice spelling
words with the ck consonant diagraph.
Give each child a letterbox and letters. Explain that the c and k are taped
together because together they make the /k/ sound. "We are going to start with
three boxes. That means that there will be three sounds. There is one box for
each sound in the word. If I ask you to spell the word back you would put the b
in the first box because it's the first sound we hear, the a in the second
because it's the second sound we hear, and the ck in the last because it's the
last sound we hear. Are you ready to start?" Using the three boxes only, have
the children spell the words: pack, buck, luck, jack, sick. "Good! Now let's
use four boxes. This means there
will be how many sounds? (4) Using the four boxes only, have the children spell
the words: slack, smack, whack, Good!.. Now let's do the same thing but with
five boxes. Let's spell the word:
cracker. Good job!! Now I'm going to write some words on the board and I want
you to read them." Teacher will write the words that were just used in letterbox
lesson.
5.
Write with a
pencil and paper two good sentences using words with the /k/ sound.
6.
Read book "Family
Tree", have student write down the words that have the "ck" diagraph so we can
make a list on the board.
7.
Assessment:
I will have the children work on the worksheet and write the words out that
belong to the picture and they should make the "k" sound. They are to write them
on the side of the worksheet on the dotted lines. I will then walk around the
room and ask the children to read the words they have written.
