/k/
The "c" or "k' sound Cat, Pumpkin, Black, Kitty
The “k” / “c” sound is made when the back of our tongue touches the top our mouth.
The “k” and “c” sound have a sister sound which is the “g” sound. The only difference in the production of these two sounds are that during the “g” sounds, the vocal chords vibrate; however, during the “k” and “c” sounds, the vocal chords do not vibrate.
By placing the back of your tongue on the top of your mouth, the air produce from the lungs is stopped. Once the tongue is lowered, the air forcefully shoots of the mouth to produce that crisp “k” or “c” sound.
A fun and tasty way to teach this sounds is to press down the tip the tongue with a lollipop or sucker so that the back of the tongue elevates. A video of this activity can be seen here:

A common error that kid’s have when trying to produce the “c” or “k” sound is a phonological process (fancy word for a pattern of errors) called fronting.
Fronting is when sounds that are produced in the back of the mouth(“c”, “k”, “g”) are replaced with sounds that are produced in the front of the mouth(“t”, “d”)
Examples of fronting:
A child says “otay” for “okay”, “tat” for “cat”, “pumptin” for “pumpkin”
