Fill in the Blank

Look at the word city, what letter comes after the letter "c"

Fill in the Blank

Look at the word face and prince, what letter comes after the letter c in both words?

Fill in the Blank

Look at the word icy, what letter comes after c?

Now lets look at words with G

Fill in the Blank

Look at the word page and village, what letter comes after g?

Fill in the Blank

Look at the word gym, what letter comes after g?

Did you notice anything?

All the words have either the letter e, i, and y after either c or g. That is what makes them soft!!

When there is an e, i, or y after c, the c makes a /s/ sound!

When there is an e, i, or y after g, the c makes a /j/ sound!

Lets practice, find all words with a soft c or soft g sound.
