🎶 The CK Rule Song | CK Digraph | Phonics Song | Learn to READ!

Quack, quack! Meet Zack the Duck and learn one of the most important early phonics rules: when to spell the /k/ sound at the end of a short word with -CK. This lively, Science of Reading-aligned song makes spelling patterns stick through rhythm, rhyme, and joyful music.

In this video, your blooming reader will discover:
✅ The -CK Rule: after a short vowel in a one-syllable word, spell the ending /k/ with -ck (like in duck, sack, and lock).
✅ When NOT to use -ck (after long vowels or consonants, like in milk or soak).
✅ Real word examples sung in a playful, memorable way.
