Silent Letters<\/b><\/p>\n

Explanation:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. They help the reader to distinguish between homophones (homophones have the Same sound but different meaning and different spelling and there are loads of these nightmare words in English) in\/inn, be\/bee,to\/too\/two, know\/no, whole\/hole, knot\/not,<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. A silent letter can help us work out the meaning of the word and it also can change the pronunciation even though it’s silent – sin\/sign, rat\/rate<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Magic ‘e’ – if you add ‘e’ at the end of short vowel sound words it elongates the sound – rid\/ride, cop\/cope, hat\/hate, tap\/tape, at\/ate, mat\/mate. <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Sometimes people might pronounce certain letters or they might not depending on their accent, for example the t in ‘often’ can be pronounced or not.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. H is silent in a lot of accents. For me h is a difficult letter to pronounce because I grew up dropping the hand my muscle memory doesn’t like it at all! But the H is silent in some words from French – hour, honest, honour, heir, herb (in American)<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. They show the origins and history (etymology) of a word.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
