"The Two Sounds Made by c" is all about listening for the sounds inside words — rhyming, blending, or breaking words into parts.
- What sounds, rhymes, or word parts did you hear?
- How were the sounds put together or pulled apart?
- Can you make another word that plays with those same sounds?
Quick work-a-long

Try it: Pick a short word, say each sound slowly, then blend it back together — and think of one word that rhymes with it.
