i was going over the sounds “c” and “k” with my kindergarteners. one student recognized that c and k are in ‘duck.’ yes, i said, duck does have a c and k in it! this is what we call a teachable moment. so i veer of into leading the group to spell ‘duck.’ ck are the last sound, what sound is in the beginning? d—d—duck. right! d. now what vowel sound do we hear in dU—U—Uck? i went through the list of vowels hanging on the board. is it dA-Ack? nooooo. is it dE-Eck? noooo. is it dI-Ick?
i swear, i didn’t see it coming: i had to hear myself say it. it's a good thing they're in kindgergarten.
