This week you are going to be learning to spell words with silent letters. First, find out about silent letters using the BBC Bitesize lesson below.
Click here to go to the BBC Bitesize website.
There are different silent letters, but today we are going to focus on the silent k. When you have a word with kn, you only say the /n/ sound.
Try writing these words down correctly onto a piece of paper, using a colour for the silent letter.
knight, knife, know, knit, knitting, knitted, knot, kneel, knock, knocking, knocked, knee
Make sure you spell them correctly.
Can you find the words in the word search below?
