Working with Words: /kw/ and /k/ Sounds

Children learn that ch is sometimes pronounced like a k and qu is sometimes pronounced kw in this spelling worksheet. Students then practice what they’ve learned by sorting a list of words like “equal” and “character” by sound, identifying antonyms, and then composing silly sentences of their own. This engaging, hands-on resource, designed for a third-grade reading and writing curriculum, supports children’s understanding of spelling patterns and irregularly spelled words.
