c g u
Free practice for c g u. It loads instantly, there is nothing to sign up for, and it stops after eight questions.
What this skill is
The letter-sound correspondences introduced here are c (/k/, as in cat), g (/g/, as in goat), u (/u/, as in umbrella). They are taught as sounds, not names, and used in real words immediately — .
Three ways to teach it at home
- Say the sound, not the letter name. "/k/", not "C". The name is a separate fact and it gets in the way of blending.
- Stretch continuous sounds — mmmm, ssss, ffff — and keep stop sounds as short as you physically can. "b", not "buh".
- The moment two or three sounds are known, build a real word with them. Isolated letter drill is where a lot of children stall.

Questions people actually ask
What grade is "c g u"?
It sits in kindergarten in most sequences, and it is aligned to RF.K.3a. In Ladderbug it opens once short o words is solid — grade labels are a rough guide, and readiness is what actually matters.
