About this resource
Explore how ng and nk complete different word stems. Pupils work through twenty-one stems and may try both endings where more than one word is possible. Have pupils read their completed words aloud and explain the meanings, rather than treating every stem as having only one acceptable response.
Curriculum reference — England: NG is a digraph; NK is a consonant cluster, so the listing does not call both digraphs. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
