Phonics Rules - 'c' as /s/ 1.5

The Orton-Gillingham approach emphasizes the significance of a structured and cumulative method for teaching phonics, particularly for children with dyslexia. A pertinent rule within this framework pertains to the pronunciation of the letter 'c' in English. Specifically, the letter 'c' produces the /s/ sound when it is immediately followed by 'e', 'i', or 'y'.

For instance, in the word "accelerate," it is crucial for students to understand that while the initial 'c' is pronounced /k/, the subsequent 'c' utilizes the /s/ sound. This highlights the importance of paying attention to letters that follow 'c' in various contexts.

This application aims to provide a concise lesson on this specific phonics rule, complemented by a quiz to reinforce understanding, followed by three engaging activities designed to further apply this rule in practice.
