The letter K is a dependable letter.\u00c2\u00a0 It usually makes the “kuh” sound as in k<\/strong><\/span><\/span>ite.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, K is silent at the beginning of a word or syllable if it is followed by the letter “n” (as in kn<\/strong><\/span><\/span>ight).\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Present a capitol and lower case K to your child.\u00c2\u00a0 See if she knows the name of the letter and the sound it makes.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Tell her that it makes the same sound that another letter we have learned about can make (C) and see if she can remember which letter that is.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Give examples of words that start with K, such as kangaroo, kite, kiss, and key.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Read <\/span>Koko\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Kitten<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

3. Go on a scavenger hunt around the house to find items that start with K for the K bag this week.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>You might find koala, kangaroo, king, keys, kitten, ketchup, kettle, etc<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Create a K collage.\u00c2\u00a0 Have your child search through magazines for K words, and glue them to paper for her alphabet book.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Key Print K\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. Provide a cut out K – use a thinner paper, as we are going to be doing rubbings.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Prepare crayons by removing the paper and taping both ends with masking tape (this will discourage drawing with the crayon when we are trying to do rubbings).\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Show your child how to lay a key down, cover it with the K, and then rub with the side of the crayon so that the key appears.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Provide a worksheet \u00c2\u00a0<\/span>with a line of K\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s to trace across the top and a blank spot below, cutouts in the shape of a kite, small pieces of string, markers, white glue.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>If desired, decorate the paper as a sky, colored blue, with clouds, sun, etc.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Decorate the kites, glue them to the paper, then glue on the strings.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Other activities: Talk about kangaroos, bounce around making the k-k-k sound with each leap; visit a kitten at the pet shop; make fruit kabobs; fly a kite<\/span><\/p>\n
