Today we are going to practice spelling words with silent consonants! When two consonants work together to make just one sound, we call it a digraph. Sometimes, one of those letters is completely quiet!
In this lesson, we’ll learn how to spot and spell these tricky patterns:
💡 W-R and K-N patterns that make sounds at the beginning of words
💡 The M-B pattern that makes a sound at the end of words
💡 Simple rules to help you remember which silent letter is missing!
🎯 Then, it’s your turn! We’ll look at different words together, listen for the sounds, and find the missing silent letters to finish our spelling.
Keep practicing and you'll be a spelling pro in no time! ✨
