How to Read and Spell Words with the Letters
g
and
c
(including sound options)
This book teaches individuals that there is more than one way to represent many sounds. The English language is developed from several languages, which has resulted in these sound options.
The reader of this book will be intoduced to the sound options for the letters c and g.
Vowels sometimes change the sounds consonants make.
We have learned that a c makes a /k/ sound.
Examples
- cat
- care
- catch
When a c is followed by e, i, or y, its sound changes to an /s/.
Examples:
- pace
- recite
- city
- Nancy
We have learned that a g makes a /g/ sound.
Examples
- give
- tag
- got
When a g is followed by e, i, or y, its sound changes to a /j/.
Examples:
- giant
- apology
- cage
- gentle
