Lesson 44: The ck Digraph
STEP 1: Phonological Awareness

Blending (3 sounds)
back, duck, rock

Segmenting (3 sounds)
neck, tick, lack

STEP 3: Auditory Drill
e
o
ll

STEP 5: Word Building
tall
roll
full
poll
call

STEP 6: New Concept
This is our first true digraph. ck says /k/ — the back of the tongue lifts to the roof of the mouth. ck never starts a word — if /k/ comes at the very beginning, we use a plain c or k instead.

STEP 10 — Dictated Sentence
Jack has a small duck.
