Welcome to Smile and Learn! I am Super Lexia, the guardian of spelling and grammar. Will you help me defeat spelling and grammar mistakes by following the rules?
Today, we’re going to talk about the letter C. Did you know that this letter has two sounds: a soft sound and a hard sound? Let’s find out how to tell which sound C makes!
The soft sound of C is like the sound of a snake, “ssss.” When C is followed by the letters e, i, or y, it makes the soft sound. For example, in the words “ceiling,” “circle,” and “symbol,” the C sounds like “s.” Listen to these words: ice, bicycle, city, cell. They all have an e, i, or y after the C, so we use the soft C sound.
The hard sound of C is like the sound in “cat.” When C is followed by the letters a, o, u, or most consonants, it makes the hard sound. For example, in the words “car,” “cow,” “cup,” and “clock,” the C sounds like “k.” Listen to these words: corn, candy, culture, cloud. They all have an a, o, u, or consonant after the C, so we use the hard C sound.
It’s that easy! If you’re ever unsure, just look at the letter after the C, and you’ll know which sound to use.
Now, let’s test your knowledge! Do these words have a soft C or a hard C?
Great work! Farewell, fellow language warriors! See you later!

Sound Detective: Become a sound detective and find words around your home or classroom that have the letter C. Write them down and decide if they have a soft C or a hard C sound. Look for clues by checking the letter that comes after C. Share your findings with a friend or family member and explain why you think each word has a soft or hard C.
Word Sorting Game: Create two boxes or areas labeled “Soft C” and “Hard C.” Gather a collection of word cards or write words on pieces of paper. Sort the words into the correct box based on whether they have a soft C or a hard C sound. You can use words like “circle,” “cake,” “city,” “cup,” “ceiling,” and “car.” After sorting, try to come up with more words to add to each box.
Sound Experiment: With a partner, take turns saying words that start with the letter C. The other person has to guess if it’s a soft C or a hard C word. Use fun words like “cereal,” “candle,” “cucumber,” and “cycle.” Keep track of how many correct guesses you make and see who can guess the most correctly!

Welcome to Smile and Learn! I am Super Lexia, the guardian of spelling and grammar. Will you help me defeat spelling and grammar mistakes by following the rules?
Today, we’re going to talk about the letter C. Did you know that this letter has two sounds: a soft sound (s) and a hard sound (C)? So how do we know what sound the letter C makes? Well, there’s a clue in the letter that comes after it.
Let’s take a closer look!
**Soft C**: The soft sound of C is like the sound of a snake. When C is followed by e, i, or y, it says “s,” like in “ceiling,” “circle,” or “symbol.” Listen: ice, bicycle, city, cell. In these words, there is an e, i, or y after the C, so we use soft C.
**Hard C**: The hard sound of C is like the sound of “cat.” When C is followed by a, o, u, or most consonants, it says “C,” like in “car,” “cow,” “cup,” or “clock.” Listen: corn, candy, culture, cloud. In these words, there is an a, o, u, or consonant after the C, so we use hard C.
It’s that easy! If you ever doubt, just look at the letter after the C, and you’ll know.
Okay, citizens, now let’s test your knowledge! Do these words have a soft C or a hard C?
– **Hard C**: corn (the O after the C gives us a clue)
– **Soft C**: center (because there is an e after the C)
– **Hard C**: climb (see the consonant after the C? It gives us a clue)
Great work! Farewell, fellow language warriors! See you later!
