Teaching Silent Letters Review

What it is

This review mixes the silent-letter spellings the child has already met, with no heading to say which is coming: kn and wr at the front of a word, mb and mn at the end, and gn at either end.

When a child is ready

Use it after kn, wr, mb, gn, and mn have each been practiced on their own.

If they struggle

Reading these is usually fine by this point; spelling them is what breaks down. Have the child sort a mixed list into columns by silent letter before writing anything, and use position as the check: wr and kn only ever start a word, while mb and mn fall at the end of one.

This skill in other grades: Grade 1 · Grade 2 · Grade 3 · Grade 4
