About this resource

Description

The letters c and k team up at the end of a short-vowel word to spell one quick /k/ sound, and words like sick, duck, clock and snack are everywhere in the books first graders read. This Vicky is Sick CK Phonics Stories Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives young readers a warm, decodable story packed with -ck words so they can practice the pattern in real sentences instead of on an isolated word list. Reading a whole story is what turns a phonics rule into automatic, confident decoding.

Page one holds an original story called “Vicky is Sick,” about a girl who wakes up under a thick blanket and a brother named Rick who brings her a stack of books, a ticking clock and a little duck made out of blocks. Page two asks five fill-in-the-bubble questions that check what students understood and finish with a phonics item about the -ck ending. Use this 1st grade CK digraph worksheet for guided reading groups, small-group phonics, morning work, homework, or a quick reading assessment. Students read the story once for enjoyment, read it again to hunt for -ck words, then answer the questions and check their work against the included answer key.

What’s Included

  • 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
  • Answer key
  • 1 original first grade -ck decodable story with a full-color illustration
  • 5 fill-in-the-bubble comprehension questions, including a -ck phonics item

Three things make this resource work. First, the story is written and measured at a first grade reading level, so students decode it independently and build reading stamina rather than guessing. Second, every question is answerable straight from the text, which teaches children to go back and look for evidence instead of relying on memory. Third, the final question moves students from comprehension to phonics, so the Vicky is Sick CK Phonics Stories Reading Comprehension Worksheet strengthens decoding and understanding in the same short lesson.

Keep the learning going after the page is finished. Ask children to hunt for -ck words on cereal boxes, storybooks and signs, then add each one to a classroom word wall. Play a quick sorting game with cards for -ck, -ke and -k endings so students hear when the two letters belong together. Invite students to retell the story in their own words or draw what Rick did next, and let them write one new sentence using at least two -ck words. Reading the story aloud together one more time builds fluency and expression.
