From the Inside Flap

The Spelling Patterns of the K Sound:

1. K: As in kite, the k is in a limited number of words (approximately 40).
2. Q: As in queen, the q sounds like k, and every q is followed by a u. Because the u is no longer a vowel, every qu must be followed by a vowel.
3. X: As in tax and as in anxious, the x sounds like a ks or kc.
4. C: The letter k is not allowed in long words and is very limited in its use. Thus, when you hear yourself saying the k sound in these 12 spelling patterns, spell it with a c:

• cat, academy
• cold, consonants
• cup, accurate
• club, conclude
• crop, describe
• fact, character
• sick, fantastic
• accident, back
• sock, occupy
• deck, eccentric
• luck, chuckle
• choir, chemistry
