Silent Letters - Worksheet

The Silent Letters worksheets are part of a series of English Teaching Resources designed to help students recognise and correctly spell words with silent letters. In the first worksheet, students are presented with a set of images and tasked with circling the correct spelling of the corresponding word. Each group of words includes one with the correct spelling, such as 'monarch', 'hedge', 'gnome', 'yacht', 'listen', and 'biscuits', alongside common misspellings that omit the silent letters.

The second worksheet challenges students to categorise a list of words based on their silent letters into the correct columns, which include silent 'w', 'h', 'l', and 'g'. This activity aids in reinforcing their understanding of how silent letters function within different words. In the third worksheet, students are required to fill in the missing silent letters to complete words and then use those words to finish a series of sentences. This exercise not only tests their knowledge of silent letters but also their ability to apply this knowledge in context. An answer key is provided to allow students to check their work and ensure they have a firm grasp of the concept of silent letters in English spelling.
