Soft C and Soft G Word Search

Start with the hard or soft sorts and have your child say each word aloud before writing it. Point to the letter after c or g each time, so the rule becomes a habit. Check with the answer key.

Find 10 soft c and soft g words like cent, mice, giant and edge in a word search, then write sentences. A soft c says s, as in cell. A soft g says j, as in gentle. The directions on the page read: Find each word from the Word List in the puzzle. The words go across or down. Circle each word you find. Then, write 3 sentences on the lines. An answer key is included.

Look at the letter right after it. C and g are usually soft before e, i or y and hard before a, o or u. Two rule pages have children circle that letter in words like center, camel, germ and wagon, then mark the sound. A few words, like get and girl, break the g rule.

Use dge right after a short vowel, as in badge, bridge and fudge. Use ge after a long vowel or a consonant, as in cage, huge and orange. One sort and one pick the spelling page practice this rule.
