100+ Words With "CK" for Kids

The "ck" sound is one of the first sounds children learn in phonics. It makes a clear /k/ sound and appears in many short, everyday words. Kids learn ck words early because they follow an easy spelling rule. We use ck right after a short vowel like a, e, i, o, or u. This makes these words simple to read and easy to remember.

In this blog, you'll find everything your child needs to learn the "ck" sound: word lists, picture examples, short sentences, worksheets, and fun activities. These will help children understand how the "ck" sound works and give them plenty of practice to become confident readers.

What Is the "CK" Sound?

The letters "ck" together make the simple /k/ sound, just like the letter k. We usually see "ck" at the end of a word or sometimes in the middle. We use ck instead of k when the letter comes right after a short vowel. Examples of short vowels: a, e, i, o, u.

So we spell words like:

• back (short a)
  
• neck (short e)
  
• pick (short i)
  
• lock (short o)
  
• duck (short u)
