What sounds does C make?
The “c” makes a soft /s/ sound when it is followed by the letters i, e or y. Again, word sorting activities are perfect for introducing and practicing this phonics concept.
What comes first letter C or K?
In Latin it eventually took the ‘c’ form in Classical Latin. In the earliest Latin inscriptions, the letters ‘ c k q’ were used to represent the sounds /k/ and /ɡ/ (which were not differentiated in writing). Of these, ‘ q’ was used to represent /k/ or /ɡ/ before a rounded vowel, ‘ k’ before ‘ a’, and ‘ c’ elsewhere.

What is the K and C rule in phonics?
The single letter c pronounced as /k/ can come almost anywhere in the word and comes before the vowels a, o, and u. The double letter c pronounced as /k/ comes after a short vowel. The letter k comes before the vowels i, e, or y.
What is the C rule?
The “Rule of c” covers the pronunciation of the letter “c”, indicating when “c” stand for the /s/ sound. The rule is: The letter c represents /s/ before the letters e, i or y; otherwise it represents /c/.
How can you tell the difference between C and K?
The most common spelling choice for the /k/ sound is the letter c but sometimes we need to use k. There is a good reason for this rule: When c is followed by e or i, it will make the soft sound /s/ as in cent and circle.
Why are C and K different letters?
The short answer Originally, C spelled the sound /g/. But, with some help from the Etruscans, the Romans got into a bit of a tangle here, and they wound up using C to spell both the sound /g/ and the sound /k/, while they hardly used the letter K at all.
Is the letter C necessary?
Some people teach that this apparently useless letter has a hard sound and a soft sound. That method is an unnecessarily difficult and complicated way to present the letter sounds. So the C is indeed a very important letter and has no reason to feel ashamed because it makes no sound on it own.
