These Gentle Cindy picture word sort templates are a fabulous way to teach children about Soft G and Soft C:
G and C say their soft /j/ and /s/ sounds when followed by the letters e, i or y. This is always true for C. It is usually true for G, with notable exceptions being words with Germanic language roots e.g. girl, get, give, gift).
Featuring a Gentle Cindy design which is exclusive to Mrs Learning Bee and The Hive - Cindy's eyes, nose and mouth are e, i and y, and her earrings are g/j and c/s.
Students sort 32 x soft and hard G pictures and 32 x sort and hard C pictures according to the Gentle Cindy spelling generalisation.
Also comes in black & white versions.
