Tips for Teaching Letter K Words<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Model the Sound<\/strong>

    When helping your child learn a new letter sound, look for opportunities to use the new sounds in words your child is familiar with, pointing out the sound and inviting your child to repeat the sound back to you. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Connect Words and Sounds to Real Life<\/strong>

      When you notice a word from the list of letter K words or see the letter K while out and about, point it out to your child. Connecting new letters and words to real objects can help grow their understanding and help them make connections that aid in remembering the new letter or word.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Practice with Pictures<\/strong>

        Seeing pictures of objects and animals that start with the letter K may help younger children connect with new letter sounds. You can use our printable picture sheets above or simply keep an eye out for images in books or items in your home that begin with K.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
