24. We will correctly spell words containing a soft c (s) and soft g (j) sound.
Learning Objective
Concept Development
• A bossy e at the end of a word can also soften the sounds of c
and g.
• Usually these letters make a hard c or g sound.
• However, if a c or g is followed by an e, i or y, the sound is
softened.
Prior Knowledge
We know that ‘bossy e’ can skip a consonant and make a long
vowel sound.
Say these words. Listen to the hard and soft sounds.
