Kite Flashcard — Letter K for Preschoolers
Kk beside a colourful diamond kite — the /k/ click is identical to hard c, and kite is the word that shows it: same sound, new letter shape, still flying.
How this card helps
Kk beside the kite gives the /k/ click its own letter after cat showed it as c — two shapes, one sound, and the kite makes the second one friendly.
How to use this card
Kick-and-say: kick a soft ball gently across the room, one k-word per kick — kick, kite, key, kind. Miss the ball, say the word anyway.
What kids learn from it
That Kk says the same /k/ as c in cat — the big idea that sounds can wear different letter coats, which is half of all English spelling.
Print it like this
Print landscape on A4 or Letter at 100% — the Kk card keeps its full 2000×1414 frame, and the rainbow kite is the brightest thing on the shelf.
How to teach with this card
Say “c and k are twins” out loud with your child — naming the twin sounds early prevents the classic “which one?” spelling tears later.
Letter sound
K makes the /k/ sound — the same back-of-the-mouth click as cat, here in its own letter: kite, kick, key, kangaroo.
