C Silent ‘w’ is often followed by ‘r’ and the ‘r’ is always followed by a vowel. kneel knit knife know gnarled gnaw gnash gnome wrap wreck wrist wrong knuckle gnat wrinkle Silent letters: ‘h’, ‘l’ A Silent ‘h’ often follows ‘w’ and is in many ‘question’ words. B Silent ‘l’ often follows the vowel ‘a’. C Silent ‘l’ often follows the vowel ‘o’ and the digraph ‘ou’. what when which calf half walk folk yolk could who chalk would why talk should Common letter patterns: ‘ight’ A Most words ending in the ‘ight’ sound use ‘ight’, only a few use ‘ite’ (bite, write, site).
