Cat and Kite Spelling Rule Chart

Why is the /k/ sound sometimes spelled with C and sometimes with K?

This is one of the most common spelling questions for young writers. The Cat and Kite rule provides a clear, memorable way to determine when to use C and when to use K to spell the /k/ sound.

Using the keywords Cat and Kite as anchors, the chart makes the spelling pattern concrete and easy to remember. Following the Orton-Gillingham approach, it teaches the rule explicitly and systematically so students can apply it confidently when spelling new words.

Who this is for:

Parents working through spelling rules with their child at home.

Tutors teaching systematic spelling using a structured literacy approach.
