Katie's Cough is fun to read. Katie encounters many friends who try to interact with her, but all Katie can do is cough. Children have a great time making an exaggerated /k/ sound as they cough along with Katie. This is also a perfect book for discussing politeness and manners. What did Katie learn about being polite when you have a cough? Point to the letter and ask your child to make the /k/ sound. Feel the air coughing from your mouth. Find letter “k”s at the beginning, middle, and ending of words. Remind children of Celia who can also make the /k/ sound when she sees letter “c.” Can you find words that make the /k/ sound but are spelled with letter “c”?
