Why C is My Favorite Letter - Answers

Here are the challenge questions we were investigating this week:
  1. Can you find examples of c making a team with a k and examples of c making a team with s?
  2. Can you find other examples of words with a double c in which each c is making a different sound?
  3. Can you think of any other example in English of the same consonant repeated twice in a row (a "double consonant") where each of the letters makes a different sound?  (Note: There may not be an answer to this challenge, but if there is, I would be fascinated to know!!)
Answers:
  1. Many possibilities, such as "clock" or "scent".
  2. Many possibilities, such as "success".
  3. We have not yet been able to come up with any answers to this question, but it isn't too late!  If you come across anything, please let us know!
