📖 Story Time

Let's begin by gathering in a comfy circle. I'll tell you a little story about Cleo the Clever Ck!

---

Once upon a time, in a land not too far away, there was a friendly little letter named C. C loved to team up with keepers of her secrets. One day, C met a magical letter named K! Together, they formed a super team known as "ck"!

Whenever they joined forces, they made special sounds in words like "kick," "duck," and "sock." They were the best of friends, and they had many adventures spreading their sound around the world.

🔍 The Hunt Begins!

Now that we know about our friends C and K, it’s time to become detectives on a special hunt!

1. Grab your magnifying glasses!
2. Look at the treasure map I gave you. It has pictures of words we can find that contain the "ck" sound.
3. As you go around the room, see if you can find objects or pictures that match the words on the map!

🎉 Celebration of Discovery

After our hunt, we’ll come back together and share the treasures we found. We will make a big poster of all the "ck" words. Then, we can even come up with some silly stories using "ck" words that you've discovered!

📌 Conclusion

With the help of Cleo and K, we are going to be digraph detectives today! Are you ready to learn about the magic of "ck"?
