Teaching Digraph ck: Systematic Phonics for Beginning Readers | Kindergarten Series

Описание: Teaching digraph CK doesn't have to be complicated. This step-by-step phonics lesson shows you exactly how to help beginning readers master this essential sound pattern.

This complete phonics lesson demonstrates how to teach the CK digraph using multisensory techniques that align with the science of reading. Whether you're a classroom teacher, parent, or homeschool educator, you'll learn proven strategies to help children understand that two letters can work together to make one sound.

The lesson uses "Dan Runs Away" from the Piney Pals decodable book series to provide structured practice with CK words. You'll see how to build phonemic awareness through listening activities, use mirror work to help students understand mouth formation, and teach the difference between voiced and unvoiced sounds.

This systematic approach helps students move beyond memorization to true understanding. When children grasp that CK is a digraph (two letters making one sound), they gain a powerful decoding tool for reading and spelling. The lesson includes explicit instruction, guided practice, and clear explanations that make complex concepts accessible to young learners.

Perfect for kindergarten and first-grade students learning to read, this lesson works well in small groups, one-on-one tutoring sessions, or whole-class instruction. The multisensory techniques engage different learning styles and help concepts stick.

Key Topics Covered:

Phonemic awareness activities for the /k/ sound
Mirror work to visualize mouth formation
Understanding voiced vs. unvoiced consonants
What makes a digraph different from individual letters
Reading practice with CK words (back, sock, tuck)
