A ready-to-use structured spelling resource for teaching learners how to choose between c and k when representing the /k/ sound at the beginning of a word.

Learners are explicitly taught to look at the vowel letter that follows: c is usually used before a, o and u, while k is usually used before e, i and y. The lesson uses explicit instruction, sorting, word building, retrieval practice and dictation to support accurate application of the pattern.

This resource is designed for adult-led, one-to-one or small-group teaching rather than whole-class projection.

Included in the resource:

• Teacher reference slides
• Teaching script
• 16-word cut-and-sort activity
• Multisensory word-building activity
• 8-word spelling worksheet
• Five themed dictation packs
• Teacher Guide
• Answer key
• Guidance for correction and retrieval practice

The Teacher Guide provides a clear step-by-step sequence from introduction of the pattern through sorting, building, writing, dictation and correction.

The resource also includes differentiated dictation themes:
General, Animals, Space, Sport and Building Bricks.

Suitable for learners who need additional support with spelling choices and who benefit from structured, explicit teaching.
