Your first task is to work your way through the word

list. Can you:

•Identify the silent letter.

•Find/think of 3 more words which have the same

silent letter and write them down.

•Use each new word to write a different sentence.

Challenge: Can you find a pattern in any of the words

with the same silent letter?

When you have finished

this task, send to your

teacher for marking.

What might this quote mean?

One of the reasons that we have silent letters in some of our words is that they used to be pronounced. Silent letters also come when English borrows words

from other languages. And some silent letters come because people made spelling mistakes when writing was first printed. Spelling is always a challenge!

Silent letters are the

ghosts of

pronunciations past.Marc Ettlinger – Linguistics PhD
