This 'Soft c (lace)' spelling quiz tests KS1 children on spellings where the ‘c’ sound is not ‘cer’ but ‘ser’ like in the word ‘lace’. The words in this quiz have been taken from the National Curriculum.

The letter ‘c’ can make two sounds: a hard c like in the word ‘cat’ or a soft c like in the word ‘lace’. This quiz is going to test you on spellings with the soft c sound. Can you spell the missing words?
