Celia Saw a Chameleon is designed to be introduced later in the year, after Katie's Cough (letter-sound k) and Ester's Pet (letter-sound s) are familiar. This is because if you look at Celia's mouth, it is empty. She has no sound of her own. To talk, Celia must borrow a sound from her pigtails. Celia sees something on the ceiling and Katie and Ester must guess what it is. Learn about marine creatures and insects as the girls use their /k/ and /s/ sounds to guess centipedes and caterpillars, crickets or cicadas. Find different words with letter “c” in the story. Listen to the word. Does the “c” make the “k” or the “s” sound in the word? Contrast other words, such as “coin” and “cent.”
