              SK vs. SC Blends

              sk and sc beginning blends

              General Rule (there are exceptions):
              (for the sc with the hard c sound)

              Spell with "sk" when the vowel after it is a "e," "i,", or "y"

              Spell with "sc" when the vowel after it is a "a," "o," or "u" or when a consonant follows the blend

              Some exceptions: skull, skate, skunk







                For these blends we also practiced alphabetical order skills by putting the sk, then the sc words in alphabetical order and then I had my daughter read the alphabetized word lists for more reading practice.
