If you're working on /k/ at the beginning of the word, remember to make the sound with the back of your tongue like a cough. When you're just beginning, try the following list and say the /k/ sound separate (break the word into sounds). For example: /c/+/ow/ for the word "cow". Don't worry about blending the word together until it's easy to make the /k/. cow, key, cap, cape, keep, comb Once you master blending words with /k/, try these harder drills: Say each word combination and make them as different as possible "key, tea", "cap, tap", "cab, tab", "can, tan"
