Spelling Words for 1-20-2020

Spelling Words for 1-21-2020

Silent Letters

Explanation: 

1. They help the reader to distinguish between homophones (homophones have the Same sound but different meanings and different spellings and there are loads of these nightmare words in English) in/inn, be/bee, to/too/two, know/no, whole/hole, knot/not.

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

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. 

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. H is silent in a lot of accents.

5.The H is silent in some words from French – hour, honest, honour, heir, herb (in American)

6. They show the origins and history (etymology) of a word.
