Questions about ck, ke or k?

What does the ck, ke or k? worksheet cover?

It practices choosing the ending that spells the /k/ sound — 8 questions for Grade 2, all on Common Core L.2.2: Capitalize proper nouns, use apostrophes and commas, and spell patterns you have been taught. The instruction to students is “Choose the word from the box that makes sense”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Which Common Core standard does ck, ke or k? practice?

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.2.2 — L.2.2, under Language for Grade 2. The published standard reads: “Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.

What age or grade is this worksheet for?

Does ck, ke or k? come with an answer key?

Yes. All 8 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.

How many different versions of ck, ke or k? can I print?

25 — one per student, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
