Story 1: Adam and Omar

Story 2: A helping hand

Story 3: A big win

Omar was nervous before his first football match. When the match started, he was worried about making mistakes. But after he scored a goal, Omar felt proud of himself. He was happy when his team won the game.

Sound practice: hard "c" = /k/

The letter c makes a hard /k/ sound when it is followed by a, o or u: cat, came, cold, carry, cup, coat.

Sound practice: soft "c" = /s/

The letter c makes a soft /s/ sound when it is followed by e, i or y: city, face, nice, ice, pencil, cent.

Writing sentences

Start each sentence with a capital letter and end it with a period (.) or a question mark (?). Example: Omar was nervous before his first football match.

Remember

• Use first, then, after that, finally to tell a story in order.
• Irregular verbs have a special past form.
• c before a, o, u says /k/; c before e, i, y says /s/.
