Letter C Activities

Welcome! New to ABC and 123?
Please check out our FAQ in the left sidebar.

We're onto the third letter in the alphabet for today's Fun with Letters Friday! The letter C can be tricky because it makes two sounds the hard /c/ sound as in cat and the soft /c/ as in celery which learners often mistake for the letter s when beginning to spell. The ideas we are sharing are a mixture of both hard and soft sounds, but we recommend that you introduce the letter c with the hard /c/ sound.

We would love to get more alphabet submissions since it's a activity area so many of you are interested in. Remember activites like ones on Cats for C, Dogs for D, Elephants for E, all count! After we do letter E we'll be sharing some more whole alphabet review activities so if you've got one, email it AND if you send us one NOW for any letter not just the upcoming ones it'll earn you an entry into our Healthiest Kid on the Block Book Giveaway!
