In a nutshell

Although ‘c’ is one of the first letters learned by most children, it is quite a tricky customer. For example, consider the pronunciation of it in each of the following words:

cat

cent

child

ache

scent

accent

delicious

These different pronunciations are best learned by practice – the more your child reads, the more comfortable they will get with the tricks and oddities of the language!

Pronunciation rules

There are some rules which can help with how to pronounce ‘c’. Not all instances of ‘c’ will follow these rules, but they do provide a general guide.

‘C’ should be pronounced with a ‘k’ sound unless:

– The letter following it is ‘e’, ‘i’ or ‘y’. In these cases it has an ‘s’ sound, (for example, ‘cent’, ‘circus’ and ‘cycle’).

– The letter following it is ‘h’. In these cases it has the ‘ch’ sound, (for example, ‘church’ and ‘child’).

‘I Spy’ words

‘I spy with my little eye, something beginning with…’ is a great game to play to reinforce the sound that a letter makes and it can be a fun game to kill some time – for example on a long car trip. Here is a selection of short words starting with ‘c’ for you to use:

cap, car, cat, cot, cub, cup, cafe, cage, cake, cane, card, cart, case, cash, cave, cent, chin, chip, city, claw, clip, coin, comb, cone, cord, cork, crib, crow, cube, cuffs, curls
